Physics

When the transportation of natural gas in a pipelineis not feasible for economic
reasons, it is first liquefied using nonconventional refrigerationtechniques and
then transported in super-insulated tanks. In a natural gasliquefaction plant,
the liquefied natural gas (LNG) enters a cryogenic turbine at 3 MPaand -160
°C at a rate of 20 kg/s and leaves at 0.3 MPa. If 115 kW power isproduced by
the turbine, determine the efficiency of the turbine. Take thedensity of LNG to
be 423.8 kg/m3
