The nozzle of a turbine are supplied with standard steam at 10 bar, 523K. The steam leaves the nozzle at a pressure of 1.0 bar. The steam consumption for turbine is 16 kg/kWh, when it develops 225 kW. If the thorat diameter is 0.8 cm. Determine the number of nozzle required and exit diameter of nozzles, assuming that 10% of the total heat drop is lost in overcoming the friction in the divergent part only. Neglect the velocity of approach.

5(b)
In a gas turbine plant the intake pressure and temperature are 1 bar and 18°C respectively. The air is compressed to the pressure 4.1 bar ny a compressor, whose isentropic efficiency is 80%. The temperature of the gas, whose properties may assumed to resemble with those of air, is raised to 645°C in the combustion chamber where there is a pressure drop of 0.1 bar. Expansion to attmospheric pressure then occurs. If the thermal efficiency of the plant to be 19%, what must be the isentropic efficiency of turbine? The mass of the fuel may be neglected.
