Question: ( 5 0 points ) Steam at 2 5 0 C and 5 bar passes through a not very effective turbine to generate electricity at

(50 points) Steam at 250C and 5 bar passes through a not very effective turbine to generate electricity at a rate of 10kgmin. The effluent from the turbine is saturated steam at 3bar.90% of the energy extracted from the steam is used to power a paddle that is mixing soup (can be treated as water) as the soup flows through an insulated mixer. The soup flows into the mixer as saturated water at 10kgmin at a temperature of 100C. Some of the work of the paddle is transferred to the soup, and liquid soup and 0.5kgmin of steam flow out of the mixer in equilibrium at 100C.
a)15 points: Draw and properly label a flowchart for this process.
