Question: ( 5 0 points ) A steam turbine operates by taking in superheated steam at 8 0 0 psia and 1 0 0 0 F

(50 points) A steam turbine operates by taking in superheated steam at 800 psia and 1000F and adiabatically exhausting it as saturated steam at 100F. The mass flow rate is 1000lb per hour through a 3 inch diameter pipe.
What is the form of the general energy equation that applies to this flow system? What is the numerical value of each term in the applicable energy equation expressed in BTU? If the turbine is poorly insulated such that 100 BTU per pound of steam fed is lost to the surroundings as heat energy, what is the maximum amount of shaft work that can be extracted?
