A geothermal supply of hot water at 500 kPa, 150C is fed to an insulated flash evaporator

Question:

A geothermal supply of hot water at 500 kPa, 150C is fed to an insulated flash evaporator at the rate of 1.5 kg/s. A stream of saturated liquid at 200 kPa is drained from the bottom of the chamber, and a stream of saturated vapor at 200 kPa is drawn from the top and fed to a turbine. The turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 70% and an exit pressure of 15 kPa. Evaluate the second law for a control volume that includes the flash evaporator and the turbine.
