EXAMPLE QUESTION FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMIC


1) Steam flows through a turbine stage at the rate of 4500kJ/h. The steam velocity at inlet and outlet are 15m/s and 180m/s respectively. The rate of heat energy flow from the turbine casing to the surroundings is 23kJ/kg of steam flowing. If the specific enthalpy of the steam decrease by 420kJ/kg in passing through the turbine stage. Calculate the power developed.

 ḿ = 4500 kg/h
 c1 = 15 m/s
 c2 =180 m/s
 Q = 23 kJ/s
 ⃤h= -420 kJ/kg

SOLUTION:
 Q-W = [(h- h1) + (C2² - C1² )] ḿ
                                                2                                   
         
           (23 x 10³) - w [(-420 x 10³) + (180² - 15²)] (1.25)
                                                                   2

           -w = -(420000) + (16087.5)(1.25) - 23 x 10³ 
           -w = -527.89kw
            w = 527.89kw


2) A rotary pump draws 600kg/hour of atmospheric air and dalivers it at a higer pressure. The specific enthalpy of air at the pump inlet is 300kJ/kg and that at the exit is 509kJ/kg. The heat lost from the pump casing is 5000w. Neglecting the changes in kinectic and potential energy determine the power required to drive the pump.

 ḿ = 600 kg/h
 h1 = 300 kJ/kg
 h2 = 509 kJ/kg
 Q = 5000 w
 w = ?

SOLUTION:

           Q-W = [(h2-h1)] ḿ
           5000 - w = [(509 x 10³ - 300 x 10³)] (0.166)
                      w = 34694 - 5000
                      w = -29.694w
