Engineering Thermodynamics Question about a generator and turbine as a system

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on an industrial process that discharges 200,000 cubic feet per minute of combustion gases at 400°F and 1 atm, proposing a system that integrates a heat-recovery steam generator with a turbine. Key considerations include ignoring heat transfer from the steam generator and turbine surfaces and the negligible pressure drop in the water flowing through the steam generator. The combustion products are treated as an ideal gas for calculations. Participants are tasked with determining the turbine inlet temperature and the power output of the turbine in Btu/min. The problem emphasizes the application of engineering thermodynamics principles in optimizing energy recovery systems.

Hey guys, sAn industrial process discharges 200,000 cubic ft/min of gaseous combustion products at 400 F and 1 atm. As shown in the figure, a proposed system for utilizing the combustion products combines a heat-recovery steam generator with a turbine. At steady state, heat transfer from the outer surfaces of the steam generator and turbine can be ignored, as can the changes in kinetic and potential energies of the flowing streams. There is no significant pressure drop for the water flowing through the steam generator. The combustion products can be modeled as air as an ideal gas. a) Determine the turbine inlet temperature, in F. b) Determine the power developed by the turbine, in Btu/min
