Question
Consider the two stage turbine and heat exchanger arrangement shown. Air flows through as an ideal gas. Steady state operation data are given in the figure. Assume heat transfer, kinetic energy, and potential energy effects can be ignored. Determine the temperature T3 the power output of the 2 nd turbine the rates of entropy production for each turbine and the heat exchanger. Using your results of part c rank the components of the system by which component contributes the most to the inefficiency of the system.Explanation / Answer
Use pv^c=k and pv=nrt and get an equation in p and t. Find c using the data for each path. Once you find T3
