Using Exergetic Efficiencies

Argon enters an insulated turbine operating at steady state at 1000°C and 2 MPa and exhausts at 350 kPa. The mass flow rate is 0.5 kg/s. Plot each of the following versus the turbine exit temperature, in °C:

(a) the power developed, in kW.

(b) the rate of exergy destruction in the turbine, in kW.

(c) the exergetic turbine efficiency.

For argon, use the ideal gas model with k = 1.67. Ignore the effects of motion and gravity. Let T0 = 20°C, p0 = 1 bar.
