Explanation / Answer

(a)

Work done = Change in enthalpy between states

Enthalpy at state 1 is the enthalpy of saturated vapor at -90 C, h1 = 241.94 kJ/kg

Entropy at state 1, s1 = 0.9246 kJ/kg K

Entropy at state 2, s2 = 0.78 x s1 (adiabatic efficiency)

= 0.7211

At 9 bars, the entropy of saturated vapor is 0.9054 kJ/kgK which is greater than the entropy of calculated state 2.

So state 2 lies in two phase state. It's dryness fraction is calculated by

0.7211 = 0.3656 + a x (0.9054 - 0.3656)

a = 0.6585

Enthalpy at state 2, h2 = 99.56 + 0.6585 x 166.62 = 209.28 kJ/kg

Work done = h1 - h2 = 241.92 - 209.28 = 32.64 kJ/kg

(b)

As state 2 is found to be in two phase mixture its temperature will be same as that of saturated temperature at 9 bars which is 35.530 C

(d)

Irreversibility = Tsurr x Change in enthalpy = 293 x (0.9246 - 0.7211) = 59.62 kJ/kg

(e)

Effectiveness = Actual work / (Actual work + Irreversibility) = 32.64 / (32.64 + 59.62) = 0.3537

(f) If the process is assumed to be reversible and adiabatic, entropy remains constant between two processes.

Then state 2 will be in superheated state. Its enthalpy in this state will be 271.3 kJ/kg.

Work done = 241.94 - 271.3 = - 29.36 kJ/kg
