6: An adiabatic air compressor is to be powered by a direct-coupled adiabatic steam turbine that is also driving a generator. Steam enters the turbine at 10 MPa and \(500^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) at a rate of \(25\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{s}\) and exits at 10 kPa and a quality of 0.85. Air enters the compressor at 98 kPa and 295 K at a rate of \(10\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{s}\) and exits at 1 MPa and 620 K . Determine the net power delivered to the generator by the turbine.
