Expansion Work Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Work Done per min = Mass of Air*Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure*(Temperature at the end of Cooling Process-Actual Temperature at end of Isentropic Expansion)
W_{per min} = ma*C_p*(T4-T5^')
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Work Done per min - (Measured in Watt) - Work Done per min is the amount of energy transferred per minute in an air refrigeration system, typically measured in joules per minute.
Mass of Air - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Mass of Air is the amount of air present in a refrigeration system, which affects the cooling performance and overall efficiency of the system.
Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of air in refrigeration systems by one degree Celsius.
Temperature at the end of Cooling Process - (Measured in Kelvin) - Temperature at the end of cooling process is the final temperature of the air after it has been cooled in an air refrigeration system.
Actual Temperature at end of Isentropic Expansion - (Measured in Kelvin) - Actual temperature at end of isentropic expansion is the final temperature of air at the end of an isentropic expansion process in air refrigeration systems.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass of Air: 120 Kilogram per Minute --> 2 Kilogram per Second (Check conversion here)
Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure: 1.005 Kilojoule per Kilogram per K --> 1005 Joule per Kilogram per K (Check conversion here)
Temperature at the end of Cooling Process: 342 Kelvin --> 342 Kelvin No Conversion Required
Actual Temperature at end of Isentropic Expansion: 265 Kelvin --> 265 Kelvin No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_{per min} = ma*C_p*(T4-T5^') --> 2*1005*(342-265)

Evaluating ... ...

W_{per min} = 154770

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

154770 Watt -->9286.19999999998 Kilojoule per Minute (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

9286.19999999998 ≈ 9286.2 Kilojoule per Minute <-- Work Done per min

How does an Expansion Turbine Work?

An expansion turbine works by expanding high-pressure, high-temperature refrigerant to lower pressure and temperature. As the refrigerant expands, it turns the turbine blades, which convert the thermal energy into mechanical work. This process reduces the refrigerant's temperature and pressure, allowing it to absorb heat from the space being cooled. Expansion turbines are used in some refrigeration and air conditioning systems to improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

How to Calculate Expansion Work?

Expansion Work calculator uses Work Done per min = Mass of Air*Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure*(Temperature at the end of Cooling Process-Actual Temperature at end of Isentropic Expansion) to calculate the Work Done per min, Expansion Work formula is defined as the energy transferred from the system to the surroundings due to a change in the volume of a system at constant pressure, typically measured in units of energy per unit time. Work Done per min is denoted by W_{per min} symbol.
