5-46 Steam flows steadily through an adiabatic turbine. The
inlet conditions of the steam are 4 MPa, 500°C, and 80 m/s, and
the exit conditions are 30 kPa, 92 percent quality, and 50 m/s.
The mass flow rate of the steam is 12 kg/s. Determine (a) the
change in kinetic energy, (b) the power output, and (c) the turbine
inlet area. Answers: (a)-1.95 kJ/kg, (b) 12.1 MW, (c) 0.0130 m²
P₁ = 4 MPa
T₁ = 500°C
V₁ = 80 m/s
