Air exits the turbine at a pressure of π2 = 1.0 πππ. The work developed is measured as 74 ππ½ per ππ of air flowing through the turbine. The turbine operates adiabatically, and changes in kinetic and potential energy between inlet and exit can be neglected. Using the ideal gas model for air, determine the turbine efficiency. πΜπΆπ = 1.0 πππ πΜ 2 π2 = 1.0 πππ π1 = 390πΎ 1 π2 = 1.0 πππ TURBINE Problem 2 Components of a heat pump for supplying heated air to a dwelling are shown in the schematic below. At steady state, Refrigerant 134a enters the compressor at 6 β, 3.2 πππ and is compressed adiabatically to 75 β, 14 πππ. From the compressor, the refrigerant passes through the condenser, where it condenses to liquid at 28 β, 14 πππ. The refrigerant then expands through a throttling valve to 3.2 πππ. The states of the refrigerant are shown on the accompanying T-s diagram. Return air M.

Analysis: (a) Lets us begin by obtaining property data at each of the principal refrigerant states located on the T-s diagram. At the inlet to the compressor, the refrigerant is a superheated vapour at 6 β, 3.5 πππ, so from Table A-13, π 1 = 0.9415 ππ½/ππ. πΎ. Similarly, at state 2, the refrigerant is superheated vapour at 75 β, 14 πππ, so interpolating in Table A-13 gives π 2 = 0.9561 ππ½/ππ. πΎ and β2 = 291.3 ππ½/ππ. State 3 is compressed liquid at 28 β, 14 πππ. From Table A-11, π 3 ≈ π π@28 β = 0.33846 ππ½/ππ. πΎ and β3 ≈ βπ@28 β = 90.69 ππ½/ππ. The expansion through the valve is a throttling process, thus β4 = β3 . Using data from Table A-11, the quality at state 4 is π₯4 = M.

For the valve, the irreversibility is primarily due to fluid friction accompanying the expansion across the valve. The principal source of irreversibility in the condenser is the temperature difference between the air and refrigerant streams. In this problem, there are no pressure drops for either stream passing through the condenser, but slight pressure drops due to fluid friction would normally contribute to the irreversibility of condensers. The evaporator lightly has not analyzed in this solution. Note (1): Since the temperature difference is large in problem one, applying approximate solution may leads to considerable error. Try to apply the approximate solution and see how different the result is. Note (2): Due to relatively small temperature change of the air, the specific heat ππ can be taken constant at the average of the inlet and exit air temperature. Note (3): Temperature in πΎ are used to evaluate πΜπππ , but since a temperature difference is involved the same result would be obtained if temperature in β were used. Temperatures in πΎ must be used when a temperature ratio is involved. M. Bahrami ENSC 388 Assignment # 6 8
