Answer

$T_{2}$ = 290.6K $W_{a}$=243.2 kJ/kg

Work Step by Step

Given data: Inlet temperature =300$^{\circ}$C Inlet pressure = 2200kPa outlet pressure = 200kPa isentropic efficiency($n_{T}$) = 85% Solution: For air specific heat at constant pressure $C_{p}$ = 1.013 kJ/kg$^{\circ}$C k =$C_{p}$$\div$$C_{v}$ = 1.395 The outlet temperature of the air,, can be calculated using p, V, T Relation for isentropic process: $T_{2}$ = $T_{1}$ $(P_{2}/P_{1})^{(k-1/k)}$ $T_{2}$ = 573 $(200/2200)^{(0.395/1.395)}$ $T_{2}$ = 290.6K From the definition of the isentropic efficiency: Actual Work produced by this turbine is given by formula; $W_{a}$ = ($n_{T}$)*Isentropic Turbine work($W_{s}$) $W_{a}$=($n_{T}$)*$C_{p}$($T_{1}$-$T_{2}$) $W_{a}$=( 0.85)( 1.013kJ/kg K)(573-290.6)K $W_{a}$=243.2 kJ/kg
