QUESTION: 3

A steam turbine receives steam steadily at 10 bar with an enthalpy of 3000 kj/kg and discharges at 1 bar with an enthalpy of 2700 kj/kg. The work output is 250 kJ/kg. The changes in kinetic and potential energies are negligible. The heat transfer from the turbine casing to the surroundings is equal to

A.
0 kJ
B.
50 kJ
C.
150 kJ
D.
250 kJ

Solution:

Given that
h₁= 3000 kJ/kg

h₂ = 2700 kJ/kg

W = 350 kJ/kg
Using steady state energy equation, h₁ = h₂+ W + Q

3000 = 2700 + 250 + Q

Q = 50 kJ
