Benha university Midterm exam

Faculty of Engineering at Shoubra Fourth year (Power)

Mechanical Engineering Department Turbo machinery
Duration: 1 hour

Question one: (15 Marks)

A. define with aid expression: 1-preheat factor for multistage compressor

2-ploytropic expansion efficiency
3-total to static efficiency

B. A stationary gas turbine power plant operates on Brayton cycle and delivery
1800HP to an electric generator. The maximum temperature is 900C and minimum
temperature is 15C at inlet pressure of 0.1 MPa, the maximum pressure is 0.5 MPa
Determine:
a. The power output of the turbine
b. percentage of turbine output to drive the compressor
c. volume rate flow to the temperature per minute
assume a regenerator efficiency of 75%, compressor efficiency of 80%
and turbine efficiency of 85 %

Question Two (15 Marks)

A. Deduce and draw on the same (η-ρ) diagram the blade efficiency in terms of
the velocity ratio, ρ and outlet stator (nozzle) angle for wheel impulse turbine.

o
B. The steam supplied to three stage impulse machine is at 12 bar, 240C. there, is a
drop of pressure across a throttle valve of 2 bar and each stage has an efficiency of
66% The pressure in three wheel casing are 2.5,0.5&0.07 bar respectively . find:
a. dryness fraction of the exhaust steam
b. The reheat factor based on conditioning after throttle valve.
c. Internal efficiency of turbine
