The ratio of the work actually developed by the turbine expanding hot power gas through a given pressure range to that would be yielded for ideal expansion conditions. The given statement relates to which of the following terms? Correct Answer Engine efficiency

Explanation:

Some of the important terms used to measure performance us a gas turbine are defined as follows:

1. Pressure ratio. It is the ratio of cycle's highest to its lowest pressure, usually highest-pressure-compressor discharges to the lowest-pressure-compressor inlet pressures.

2. Work ratio. It is the ratio of network output to the total work developed in the turbine or turbines.

3. Air ratio. kg of air entering the compressor inlet per unit of cycle net output, for example, kg/kWh.

4. Compression efficiency. It is the ratio of work needed for ideal air compression through a given pressure range to work actually used by the compressor.

5. Engine efficiency. It is the ratio of the work actually developed by the turbine expanding hot power gas through a given pressure range to that would be yielded for ideal expansion conditions.

6. Machine efficiency. It is the collective term meaning both engine efficiency and compressor efficiency of turbine and compressor, respectively.

7. Combustion efficiency. It is the ratio of heat actually released by 1 kg of fuel to heat that would be released by complete perfect combustion.

8. Thermal efficiency. It is the percentage of total energy input appearing as net work output of the cycle.

In a newly developed innovative idea brought up by CSIR in India, gas turbine exhaust gas are being utilized to convert feedwater into steam. Certain data of the experiment are as follows: mass flow rate of exhaust gas = 40 kg/hr, enthalpy of exhaust gas at the time of their exit from gas turbine is 600 kJ/kg, steam turbine output as measured by brake dynamometer = 60 hp-sec, thermal efficiency of steam power plant is 0.25, efficiency of exhaust gas in converting feedwater into steam is taken as 50%. Find the enthalpy of exhaust gas remaining after they generate steam from feedwater?

Election was held to select the chairman of the governing council of ICC. The result of the election indicated that 25% of the people voted for Ravi and the rest voted for Sunil. Later it was discovered that the voting machine was faulty and 20% of the people whose votes were recorded in favour of Ravi had actually voted for Sunil and 50% of the people whose votes were recorded in favour of Sunil had actually voted for Ravi. If the difference between the people who actually voted for Ravi and those who actually voted for Sunil was 3,00,000, how many people actually voted for Ravi?
Consider the following statements in connection with hydraulic turbines: 1. The Kaplan turbine is a radial flow turbine in which the guide vane angles as well as the runner vane angles are adjustable. 2. Francis and Kaplan turbines are provided with draft tubes which carry water from exit of runner to tail water to increase the gross head across the turbine. 3. The parts of turbines susceptible to cavitation are the guide vanes and runner vanes – drastically reducing the turbine efficiency. 4.
