The document discusses the application of the steady flow energy equation to various flow processes including turbines, nozzles, throttles, and pumps. It explains that for turbines, the steady flow energy equation relates the enthalpy drop of the fluid to the work produced. For nozzles, the equation shows the relationship between the enthalpy drop and the kinetic energy increase of the fluid. For throttles, the equation indicates that the enthalpy remains constant. And for pumps, the equation relates the enthalpy rise to the work input into the system. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to use the steady flow energy equation to analyze different flow processes.

A hybrid converter topologies which can supply simultaneously AC as well as DC from a single DC source. The new Hybrid Converter is derived from the single switch controlled Boost converter by replacing the controlled switch with voltage source inverter (VSI). This new hybrid converter has the advantages like reduced number of switches as compared with conventional design having separate converter for supplying AC and DC loads, provide DC and AC outputs with an increased reliability, resulting from the inherent shoot through protection in the inverter stage. For controlling switches PWM control, based upon unipolar Sine-PWM is described.

Dynamic model of A DC-DC quasi-Z-source converter (q-ZSC)IJECEIAES
Two quasi-Z-source DC-DC converters (q-ZSCs) with buck-boost converter gain were recently proposed. The converters have advantages of continuous gain curve, higher gain magnitude and buck-boost operation at efficient duty ratio range when compared with existing q-ZSCs. Accurate dynamic models of these converters are needed for global and detailed overview by understanding their operation limits and effects of components sizes. A dynamic model of one of these converters is proposed here by first deriving the gain equation, state equations and state space model. A generalized small signal model was also derived before localizing it to this topology. The transfer functions (TF) were all derived, the poles and zeros analyzed with the boundaries for stable operations presented and discussed. Some of the findings include existence of right-hand plane (RHP) zero in the duty ratio to output capacitor voltage TF. This is common to the Z-source and quasi-Z-source topologies and implies control limitations. Parasitic resistances of the capacitors and inductors affect the nature and positions of the poles and zeros. It was also found and verified that rather than symmetric components, use of carefully selected smaller asymmetric components L1 and C1 produces less parasitic voltage drop, higher output voltage and current under the same conditions, thus better efficiency and performance at reduced cost, size and weight.
An improved luo converter for high power applicationseSAT Journals
Abstract
Power conversion is one of the major requirements in various industries and in daily life. Among various types of power
conversion, DC-DC conversion has greater importance. DC-DC conversion can be reliably performed using luo converter. It
employs voltage lift technique so that output voltage is increased stage by stage, in arithmetic progression. Luo converter can be
incorporated with the Z network or impedance network so as to ensure simple start up and smooth power conversion. An
impedance network consist of two identical inductors and two identical capacitors connected in ‘X’ shape. Besides power
conversion it also offers filtering operation. The luo converter in this scheme is of switched capacitor type. It helps to provide
regulated output voltage from an unregulated source of power supply. The major benefits of this proposed scheme is that it
combines the advantages of the switched capacitor, voltage lift technique and the impedance network. Hence the proposed scheme
has various advantages such as high power density, larger range of output DC voltage, lower or no inrush current, lower
harmonic injection, simple circuit, high voltage transfer gain, can process upto several tens of watts of power. The simulation
analysis and the hardware implementation shows that the output voltage obtained is higher than the expected theoretical value.
i.e, it is the highly boosted voltage output.
Keywords: Z-network, boost voltage, voltage lift technique

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

OBJECTIVES
General Objective: To understand the application of steady flow energy equation.
Specific Objectives : At the end of the unit you will be able to:
apply the steady-flow energy equation to :
• turbine

7.0 APPLICATION OF STEADY FLOW EQUATION
Do you know the
application of steady
flow equation for
turbine?
The steady flow energy equation may be applied to any apparatus through which a
fluid is flowing, provided the conditions stated in Unit 6 are applicable. Some of the
most common cases found in engineering practise will now be dealt with in detail.
3. FLOW PROCESS J2006/7/3
7.0.1 Turbine
A turbine is a device which uses a pressure drop to produce work energy
which is used to drive an external load.

Figure 7.0.1 Turbine
The steady flow energy equation gives
C 2 − C12
Q − W = m ( h2 − h1 ) + 2
+ ( gZ 2 − gZ 1 )
2
Points to note :
i. The average velocity of flow of fluid through a turbine is normally
high, and the fluid passes quickly through the turbine. It may be
assumed that, because of this, heat energy does not have time to flow
into or out of the fluid during its passage through the turbine, and
hence Q = 0 .
ii. Although velocities are high the difference between them is not large,
and the term representing the change in kinetic energy may be
neglected.
iii. Potential energy is generally small enough to be neglected.
iv. W is the amount of external work energy produced per second.
4. FLOW PROCESS J2006/7/4
The steady flow energy equation becomes
- W = m( h2 − h1 )
or W = m( h1 − h2 )
(7.1)

of the fluid.

Figure 7.0.2 Nozzle
The steady flow energy equation gives
C 2 − C12
Q − W = m ( h2 − h1 ) + 2
+ ( gZ 2 − gZ 1 )
2
Points to note :
i. The average velocity of flow through a nozzle is high, hence the fluid
spends only a short time in the nozzle. For this reason, it may be
assumed that there is insufficient time for heat energy to flow into or
out of the fluid during its passage through the nozzle, i.e. Q = 0.
ii. Since a nozzle has no moving parts, no work energy will be
transferred to or from the fluid as it passes through the nozzle,
i.e. W = 0.
5. FLOW PROCESS J2006/7/5
iii. Potential energy is generally small enough to be neglected.
Hence the equation becomes
C 2 − C12
0 = m ( h2 − h1 ) + 2
2
Often C1 is negligible compared with C2. In this case the equation becomes
C2
0 = m ( h2 − h1 ) + 2

or = ( h1 − h2 )

or C 2 = 2( h1 − h2 ) (7.2)
6. FLOW PROCESS J2006/7/6
Example 7.1
A fluid flows through a turbine at the rate of 45 kg/min. Across the turbine the
specific enthalpy drop of the fluid is 580 kJ/kg and the turbine loss 2100 kJ/min
in the form of heat energy. Determine the power produced by the turbine,
assuming that changes in kinetic and potential energy may be neglected.
Solution to Example 7.1
The steady flow energy equation gives
C 2 − C12
2
Q − W = m ( h2 − h1 ) +
+ ( gZ 2 − gZ 1 )
2
Q = heat energy flow into system = -2100 kJ/min
W = work energy flow from system kJ/min
m = fluid flow rate = 45 kg/min
h2 - h1 = -580 kJ/kg
C1& C2 = neglected
Z1& Z2 = neglected
Therefore the steady flow energy equation becomes
-2100 kJ/min – W = 45 kg/min (-580 kJ/kg)
W = (26100 – 2100) kJ/min
= 24000 kJ/min
= 400 kJ/s
= 400 kW
7. FLOW PROCESS J2006/7/7
Example 7.2
Fluid with a specific enthalpy of 2800 kJ/kg enters a horizontal nozzle with
negligible velocity at the rate of 14 kg/s. At the outlet from the nozzle the
specific enthalpy and specific volume of the fluid are 2250 kJ/kg and
1.25 m3/kg respectively. Assuming an adiabatic flow, determine the required
outlet area of the nozzle.
Solution to Example 7.2
The steady flow energy equation gives
C 2 − C12
Q − W = m ( h2 − h1 ) + 2
+ ( gZ 2 − gZ 1 )
2
When applied to the nozzle, this becomes
C 2 − C12
0 = m ( h2 − h1 ) + 2
2
Since the inlet C1 is negligible, this may be written as
C 22 = 2( h1 − h2 )
= √ [2(2800 – 22500]
= 1050 m/s

passes through the turbine is 25 kJ/kg. The steam flow rate is 324000 kg/h.
Determine the work output from the turbine in kilowatts.
7.2 In a turbo jet engine the momentum of the gases leaving the nozzle produces
the propulsive force. The enthalpy and velocity of the gases at the nozzle
entrance are 1200 kJ/kg and 200 m/s respectively. The enthalpy of the gas at

7.0.3 THROTTLE
A throttling process is one in which the fluid is made to flow through a restriction ,
e.g. a partially opened valve or orifice, causing a considerable drop in the pressure
of the fluid.

Figure 7.0.3 Throttling process
The steady flow energy equation gives
C 2 − C12
Q − W = m ( h2 − h1 ) + 2
+ ( gZ 2 − gZ 1 )
2
Points to note:
i. Since throttling takes place over a very small distance, the available area
through which heat energy can flow is very small, and it is normally
assumed that no energy is lost by heat transfer, i.e. Q = 0.
ii. Since there are no moving parts, no energy can be transferred in the form of
work energy, i.e. W = 0.
iii. The difference between C1 and C2 will not be great and consequently the
term representing the change in kinetic energy is normally neglected.
iv. The potential energy is generally small enough to be neglected.
12. FLOW PROCESS J2006/7/12
The steady flow energy equation becomes
0 = m (h2 - h1)
or h2 = h1 (7.3)
i.e. during a throttling process the enthalpy remains constant.
7.0.4 Pump
The action of a pump is the reverse of that of a turbine, i.e. it uses external
work energy to produce a pressure rise. In applying the steady flow energy
equation to a pump, exactly the same arguments are used as for turbine and
the equation becomes
- W = m( h2 − h1 )
(7.4)
Since h2 > h1, W will be found to be negative.

This is an equation which is often used in conjunction with the steady flow
energy equation. It is based on the fact that if a system is in a steady state,
then the mass of fluid passing any section during a specified time must be

Example 7.3
A fluid flowing along a pipeline undergoes a throttling process from 10 bar to 1
bar in passing through a partially open valve. Before throttling, the specific
volume of the fluid is 0.3 m3/kg and after throttling is 1.8 m3/kg. Determine the
change in specific internal energy during the throttling process.
Solution to Example 7.3
For a throttling process, the steady flow energy equation becomes
0 = m (h2 - h1)
or h2 = h1
But h2 = u2 + P2v2
and h1= u1 + P1v1
Therefore the change in specific internal energy
= u2 – u1
= ( h2 - P2v2 ) - ( h1 – P1v1)
= ( h2 - h1 ) – ( P2v2 - P1v1 )
= 0 – ( 1 x 1.8 – 10 x 0.3 ) bar m3/kg
= 120 x 10 Nm/kg
= 120 kJ/kg
Example 7.4
A pump delivers fluid at the rate of 45 kg/min. At the inlet to the pump the
specific enthalpy of the fluid is 46 kJ/kg, and at the outlet from the pump the
specific enthalpy of the fluid is 175 kJ/kg. If 105 kJ/min of heat energy are lost to
the surroundings by the pump, determine the power required to drive the pump if
the efficiency of the drive is 85 %.
Solution to Example 7.4
The flow rate of fluid = 45 kg/min
= 0.75 kg/s
The steady flow energy is
C 2 − C12
Q − W = m ( h2 − h1 ) + 2
+ ( gZ 2 − gZ 1 )
2
15. FLOW PROCESS J2006/7/15
Q = - 105 kJ/min = - 1.75 kJ/s
W = work energy flow (kJ/s)
h1 = 46 kJ/kg
h2 = 1.27 kJ/kg
m = 0.75 kg/s
The kinetic and potential energy may be neglected
Substituting the data above with the steady flow energy equation gives
- 1.75 – W = 0.75 (175 – 46)
W = -1.75 – (0.75 x 129)
= - 98.5 kJ/s
= - 98.5 kW
(N.B. The negative sign indicates work energy required by the pump)

3 A nozzle is supplied with steam having a specific enthalpy of 2780 kJ/kg at
the rate of 9.1 kg/min. At outlet from the nozzle the velocity of the steam is
1070 m/s. Assuming that the inlet velocity of the steam is negligible and that
the process is adiabatic, determine:
a) the specific enthalpy of the steam at the nozzle exit
b) the outlet area required if the final specific volume of the steam is
18.75 m3/kg.
4 Fluid at 10.35 bar having a specific volume of 0.18 m 3/kg is throttled to a
pressure of 1 bar. If the specific volume of the fluid after throttling is
0.107 m3/kg, calculate the change in specific internal energy during the
process.
