Determine the temperature at the exit of each turbine : Steam enters a two-stage adiabatic turbine at 8 MPa and 550ºC (State 1) and is expanded to 2 MPa (State 2) in the first stage of expansion. This steam is reheated at constant pressure to 550ºC (State 3) before entering the second stage of expansion.

What is the fracture toughness : A tensile sample of width 10mm contains an internal crack of length 0.3mm. When loaded in tension the crack suddenly propagates when the stress reaches 450 MPa. What is the fracture toughness K1c of the material of the sample? If the material has a m..

Determine the work and heat transfer per unit mass : Water, initially a saturated vapor at 150 degrees Celsius, is contained in a piston-cylinder assembly. The water undergoes a polytrophic process (n=1) to a pressure of 0.01 MPa, during which the piston moves freely in the cylinder.
