Work Done Rate by Turbine (Expanders) Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Work Done Rate = Change in Enthalpy*Mass Flow Rate
W_rate = ΔH*m
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Work Done Rate - (Measured in Joule per Second) - Work Done Rate performed by a system is energy transferred per second by the system to its surroundings.
Change in Enthalpy - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram) - Change in enthalpy is the thermodynamic quantity equivalent to the total difference between the heat content of a system.
Mass Flow Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Mass flow rate is the mass of a substance that passes per unit of time. Its unit is kilogram per second in SI units.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Change in Enthalpy: 190 Joule per Kilogram --> 190 Joule per Kilogram No Conversion Required
Mass Flow Rate: 5 Kilogram per Second --> 5 Kilogram per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_rate = ΔH*m --> 190*5

Evaluating ... ...

Working of turbine (expanders)

The expansion of a gas in a nozzle to produce a high-velocity stream is a process that converts internal energy into kinetic energy, which in turn is converted into shaft work when the stream impinges on blades attached to a rotating shaft. Thus a turbine (or expander) consists of alternate sets of nozzles and rotating blades through which vapor or gas flows in a steady-state expansion process. The overall result is the conversion of the internal energy of a high-pressure stream into shaft work. When steam provides the motive force as in most power plants, the device is called a turbine; when it is a high-pressure gas, such as ammonia or ethylene in a chemical plant, the device is usually called an expander.
