Calculate turbine exit temperature and power output


A turbocharger is used to boost the inlet air pressure to an automobile engine. This device consists of an exhaust gas-driven turbine directly connected to an air compressor, as shown in the figure. At a certain engine load, the conditions are as shown in the figure. The exhaust gases are considered to have air properties and all air in the system is considered an ideal gas. If it is assumed that the turbine and the compressor are both adiabatic and reversible, calculate: a. The turbine exit temperature and power output in °C and kW respectively b. The compressor exit pressure and temperature in kPa and °C respectively c. Repeat parts a and b, but assume that the turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 85% and the compressor has an isentropic efficiency of 80%.
