Determine the entropy of 1 kg of wet steam at a pressure of 6 bar and 0.8 dry, reckoned from freezing point (0°C).
Determine the entropy of 1 kg of wet steam at a pressure of 6 bar and 0.8 dry, reckoned from freezing point (0°C).
1. Find the internal energy of 1 kg of steam at 20 bar when
(i) it is superheated, its temperature being 400°C ;
(ii) it is wet, its dryness being 0.9.
Assume superheated steam to behave as a perfect gas from the commencement of superheating and thus obeys Charle’s law: Specific heat for steam = 2.3 kJ/kg K.
2. Two boilers one with superheater and other without superheater are delivering equal quantities of steam into a common main. The pressure in the boilers and main is 20 bar. The temperature of steam from a boiler with a superheater is 350°C and temperature of the steam in the main, is 250°C.
Determine the quality of steam supplied by the other boiler. Take cps = 2.25 kJ/kg.
3. Determine the entropy of 1 kg of wet steam at a pressure of 6 bar and 0.8 dry, reckoned from freezing point (0°C).
4. Steam enters an engine at a pressure 10 bar absolute and 400°C. It is exhausted at 0.2 bar. The steam at exhaust is 0.9 dry. Find :
(i) Drop in enthalpy ;
(ii) Change in entropy.
5. Find the entropy of 1 kg of superheated steam at a pressure of 12 bar and a temperature of 250°C. Take specific heat of superheated steam as 2.1 kJ/kg K.
