Water at 20 bar and 400 C enters a turbine operating at steady state and exits at 1.5 bar. Stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. A hard-to-read data sheet indicates that the quality, x, at the turbine exit is 98%. What is the value of entropy at the turbine inlet in kJ/kg-K?

, nevertheless, the outlet quality is not possible due to negative entropy generation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, with the given conditions, it is possible to extract the entropy at the turbine inlet from the steam overheated tables at 20 bar and 400 °C, realizing that 20 bar equals 2 MPa. In such a way, the entropy at those conditions is:

Moreover, we should prove that the 98% quality is possible in terms of the entropy generation which MUST be positive based on the entropy balance:

Thus, we also compute the entropy at the outlet, looking for liquid-vapor water at 1.5 bar with the given quality:

Hence the entropy generation turns out:

Finally, such value means that the outlet quality is not thermodynamically possible.

Regards.

answer:

science is the study of the nature and behavior of natural things and the knowledge that we obtain about them. a science is a particular branch of science such as physics, chemistry, or biology. physics is the best example of a science which has developed strong, abstract theories.

pseudoscience is a collection of beliefs or practices mistakenly regarded as being based on scientific method.
