a) An adiabatic turbine expands steam from 600C and 3.0MPa to 250C and 0.5MPa. If the turbine generates 700kW, what is the flow rate of steam through the turbine? Assume that: - Specific enthalpy of the inflow: Hin^=3,682.3kJ/kg. From the steam tables in your textbook: steam at 3.0 MPa pressure, and 600C. - Specific enthalpy of the outflow: Hout^=2960.7kJ/kg. From the steam tables in your textbook: steam at 0.5MPa pressure, and 250C. - The turbine is at steady state. b) If a breakdown of the thermal insulation around the turbine allows a heat loss of 75kJ/kg of steam that passes through the turbine, and the exiting steam is at 100C and 0.1MPa, what will be the power (in kW) developed by the turbine if the inlet steam conditions and flow rate are unchanged? Remember to check your units for each term. Assume that: - Specific enthalpy of the outflow: Hout^=2676.2kJ/kg. From the steam tables in your textbook: steam at 0.1MPa pressure, and 100C
