isentropic efficiency

A thermal power plant is running with no reheat or regeneration. The specific enthalpy and specific entropy of steam at the turbine inlet are 3344 kJ kg⁻¹ and 6.5 kJ kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, resp...

A thermal power plant is running with no reheat or regeneration. The specific enthalpy and specific entropy of steam at the turbine inlet are $3344 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1}$...

A gas turbine with air as the working fluid has an isentropic efficiency of 0.70 when operating at a pressure ratio of 3. Now, the pressure ratio of the turbine is increased to 5,...

The pressure ratio across a gas turbine (for air, specific heat at constant pressure, $C_p = 1040$ J/kg. K and ratio of specific heats, $\gamma = 1.4$) is 10. If the inlet temperat...

A standard vapor compression refrigeration cycle operating with a condensing temperature of 35°C and an evaporating temperature of -10°C develops 15 kW of cooling. The p-h diagram...

In a power plant, water (density $$ = 1000\,\,kg/{m^3}$$ ) is pumped from $$80$$ $$kPa$$ to $$3$$ $$MPa$$. The pump has an isentropic efficiency of $$0.85.$$ Assuming that the temp...

In a steam power plant operating with simple Rankine cycle, the turbine is fed with steam at $$100$$ bar and $$673$$ $$K.$$ Determine the actual enthalpy and quality of the steam e...
