You Can Do Thermodynamics: Power Output Produced by a Steam Turbine

Follow
Triple Play Technical, Tutoring, and Tips

This is a Thermodynamics problem walkthrough. The goal of this problem is to determine the power produced by a Steam Turbine.
Given values are diameter, enthalpy, specific volume, pressure, and temperature for the steam entering and the steam exiting the steam turbine. Velocity value for the entrance steam is also given.
Conservation of Energy is used for solving this problem. Because British units are used, a gc conversion factor is needed. Dimensional analysis is used at different parts of the problem to get variables with consistent units.
