Reconsider Prob. 7-194. Using EES (or other) software, determine the isentropic efficiencies for the compressor and turbine. Then use EES to study how varying the compressor efficiency over the range 0.6 to 0.8 and the turbine efficiency over the range 0.7 to 0.95 affect the net work for the cycle and the entropy generated for the process. Plot the net work as a function of the compressor efficiency for turbine efficiencies of 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9, and discuss your results.
Prob. 7-194
An adiabatic air compressor is to be powered by a direct-coupled adiabatic steam turbine that is also driving a generator. Steam enters the turbine at 12.5 MPa and 500°C at a rate of 25 kg/s and exits at 10 kPa and a quality of 0.92. Air enters the compressor at 98 kPa and 295 K at a rate of 10 kg/s and exits at 1 MPa and 620 K. Determine
(a) The net power delivered to the generator by the turbine and
(b) The rate of entropy generation within the turbine and the compressor during this process.
