A steam power plant employs two adiabatic turbines in series. Steam enters the first turbine at 650oC

Question:

A steam power plant employs two adiabatic turbines in series. Steam enters the first turbine at 650oC and 7,000 kPa and discharges from the second turbine at 20 kpa. The system is designed for equal power outputs from the two turbines, based on a turbine efficiency of 78% for each turbine. Determine the temperature and pressure of the steam in its intermediate state between the two turbines. What is the overall efficiency of the two turbines together with respect to isentropic expansion of the steam from the Initial to the final stale?
