Use the given values Air as an ideal gas flows through the turbine and heat exchanger arrangement. Steady-state data are given on the figure and on the table. Stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored.

a) Determine the power developed, in Turbine 2

Find the rates of entropy production, each in kW/K, for

  1. b) Turbine 1 and
  2. c) Heat exchanger
  3. d) Which component contributes more to inefficient operation of the overall system? How do you know? Use the given values Air as an ideal gas flows through
