A power plant uses an adiabatic single-flash process coupled with a liquid-vapor separator and a turbine. Saturated liquid water enters the flash chamber (which behaves like a throttling valve) at 240C at a rate of 59 kg/s and leaves at a pressure of 850 kPa. The stream then enters the separator where the liquid is collected at the bottom of the unit while the vapor portion of the stream continues to the turbine. The steam leaving the turbine has a pressure of 50 kPa and has a quality of 0.92.What is the quality of the steam immediately after the flash chamber?What is the rate of liquid extration in the separator unit? kg/sWhat is the rate of work produced by the turbine? kW
