Q.1. Write the steady flow energy equation arid point out the significance of various terms involved.

Fig. shows a steady flow process Let us consider an open system through which the working substance flows at a steady rate. Supposing the fluid enters at (1) (1) and leaves at (2) (2) Total energy entering the system,

Then according to 1st law of thermodynamics,

This equation is known as steady flow energy equation (SFE). Steady flow energy equation for unit mass of fluid,

Where

h1, h2 = enthalpy of fluid entering and leaving the system q = heat supplied to system in J/kg w = work delivered by system.

Q.2. 15kg of air per minute is delivered by a centrifugal compressor. The inlet and outlet velocities are 12 m/s and 90 m/s, the pressures are 1 bar and 8 bar and specific volumes 0.5 m /kg and 0.14 m /kg. The increase in enthalpy of air passing through the compressor is 150 kJ/kg and heat loss to the surroundings is 900 kJ/min. Find (a) Motor power required to drive the compressor. (b) Ratio of inlet and outlet pipe diameter. Assume that inlet and discharge at the same level.

Increase in enthalpy of air passing through compressor = 150 kJ/kg Also, heat lost to surroundings = 700 kJ/min

1. Motor power required to drive the compressor: Applying SFEE

So the motor required to drive the compressor = 48.18 kW 2. Ratio of inlet and outlet pipe diameter

Q 3 In a certain steady flow process, 12kg per minute enter at a pressure of 1 4 bar, density 25kg/m , velocity 120m/s and internal energy 920kJ/kg The fluid properties at exit are pressure 56 bar density 5kg/m , velocity 180 m/s and internal energy 720kJ/kg.

Q. 4. A stream of gases at 2.5bar and 150 m/sis passed through the turbine of a jet engine. The stream comes out of turbine at 2bar and 300 m/s. The process may be assumed adiabatic. The enthalpy of gas at entry is 260 kJ/kg than at the exit. Determine the capacity of turbine if gas flow is 4 kg/s. Ans. P1 =7.5 bar = 7.5 x N/m P2 = 2 bar = 2 x N/m C1 = 150 m/s, C2 = 300 m/s h1 = 260 + h2; m =4kg/s

Q. 5. Write down a general equation for steady flow system and simplify it when applied to 1. Gas turbine. 2. Steam nozzle. Ans. SFEE:

Gas Turbine: A turbine is a device which transforms thermal energy of a flowing fluid into useful work. This output of turbine may be used to run a generator to produce electricity. In the turbine, 1. Turbine is insulated, so that no heat enters or leaves the system i.e. q = 0. 2. The changes in RE. are negligible i.e. Z1 = Z2. 3. The changes in K.E. are negligible i.e. Applying steady flow energy equations per Gas/Steam in unit mass

For turbine, if, q = 0 Z1 = Z2 h1= h2 + w w = h1 h2 This shows that work s done by the system due to decrease in enthalpy of the system.

Nozzle is a device with varying x-sectional area through which the pressure energy of flowing fluid decreases and the K.E. increases. The main aim is to produce a jet of very high velocity In the nozzle, 1 Nozzle is insulated so that no heat enters or leaves the system i e q = 0 2 No work is being done in the nozzle, w = 0 3 Changes in P.E. are negligible i.e. Z1 = Z2

Q. 6. At the inlet to a nozzle, the enthalpy of fluid passing is 2800 kJ/kg and the velocity is 50 m/s. At the discharge of enthalpy is 2600 kJ/kg. The nozzle is horizontal and there is no heat loss. Find (a) Velocity at the exit of nozzle. (b) Mass flow rate if inlet area is 900 cm and specific volume is 0.187 m /kg. (c) Exit area of nozzle if specific volume at exit is 0.498 m /kg. Ans. Enthalpy of fluid at inlet, h1 = 2800 kJ/kg Enthalpy of fluid at discharge, h2 = 2600 kJ/kg Velocity of fluid at inlet, C1 = 50 m/s SFEE

as nozzle is horizontal and with no heat loss i.e. Z1 = Z2, q = 0, w = 0

C2 = 634.43 m/s Inlet area of nozzle, A1 = 900 cm
