Question: A 2 0 0 - Liter boiler tank is connected to a turbine and initially contains saturated liquid water at 1 5 0 kPa .

A 200-Liter boiler tank is connected to a turbine and initially contains saturated liquid water at 150 kPa . There is a pressure valve between the tank and the turbine that opens when the pressure inside the tank reaches 1000 kPa . If this pressure is achieved, saturated vapor exits the tank (at 1000 kPa ) and goes into the turbine and exits the turbine to the atmosphere as saturated vapor at 150 kPa .
Heat is added to the boiler tank until all the saturated liquid (state 1) becomes a saturated vapor (state 2), at which point the heat is turned off.
The turbine is an adiabatic turbine.
(a) Determine the heat transfer to the boiler during that time period (20 points)
(b) Determine the work from the turbine during that time period (10 points)
