Question 62
AENAT2 marksNeeds review
A gas mixture at a pressure of 800 kPa and a density of 5 kg/m
enters a turbine stage. The temperature of the gas at the nozzle exit and the stage exit are 790 K and 750 K, respectively. Assume the specific heats are constant for the gas mixture in the range of temperatures considered. The specific heat at constant pressure is 0.72 kJ/kg-K and the ratio of specific heats is 1.33. The value of the degree of reaction of the turbine stage is ________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).Log in to check the answer
