Instead of making us guess, why don't you post your calculations?Albertov123 said:Could turbine exhaust temperature be negative Celcius?
My calculations yield 176 K. Is that possible?
Inlet conditions are 7.8 MPa and 625 K. Exit pressure is 1 atm. (100 kPa.)
CWatters: The OP posted his calculations before this thread was moved to the HW forum, then the calculations disappeared from the thread. As far as I can recall, the working fluid was a van der Waals gas rather than an ideal gas, with certain values given for the constants in the vdW equation of state.CWatters said:Is this a steam turbine?
PS: Check out the forum rules for the homework sections.
Turbine exhaust temperature is the temperature of the exhaust gas that is produced by a turbine engine after it has been used to generate power.
Turbine exhaust temperature is typically measured using thermocouples, which are temperature sensors placed in the exhaust gas stream.
The main factors that affect turbine exhaust temperature are the rate of fuel combustion, the amount of air entering the turbine, and the efficiency of the turbine itself.
Turbine exhaust temperature is important because it can indicate the performance and efficiency of a turbine engine. It is also used to monitor and control the engine during operation.
The normal range for turbine exhaust temperature varies depending on the specific engine and its operating conditions. Generally, it can range from 400°C to 1000°C (750°F to 1830°F).
