Module 6 Exercises Problem No. 3

This document contains two engineering problems related to power and industrial plant engineering. The first problem involves calculating the net turbine power of a gas turbine operating on an air standard cycle. The second problem involves designing a Pelton wheel to run at 300 rpm under an effective head of 150 meters. Key details include: 1) The gas turbine compresses air from 100 kPa and 30°C to 500 kPa at a maximum temperature of 780°C, with an exit pressure of 100 kPa. The net turbine power is calculated to be 4856.6 kW. 2) For a Pelton wheel with a nozzle to pitch circle diameter ratio of 1/12, running at 300 rpm with an effective head

Problems:

1. In a gas turbine operating on the air standard cycle, the air enters the
compressor at 100 kPaa and 30 deg C at the rate of 20 cu. m/sec and is
compressed to 500 kPaa. The maximum temp is 780 deg C and the exit pressure
of the turbine is 100 kPaa. Determine the net turbine power.
a. 4853 kW b. 4358 kW c. 4583 kW d. 4538 kW

2. A Pelton Wheel is to be designed to run at 300 rpm under an effective head of


150 m. The ratio of the nozzle diameter to the diameter of the pitch circle is 1/12.
Assuming efficiency of 84%, what is the size of the wheel in meters? Assume a
speed ratio of 0.45.
