A turbine is supplied with steam at 40 bar, 400 °C, which expands through the turbine in
steady flow to an exit pressure of 0.2 bar, and a dryness fraction of 0.93. the inlet velocity
is negligible, but the steam leaves at high velocity through a duct of 0.14 m2 cross
sectional area. If the mass flow is 3 kg/s, and the mechanical efficiency is 90%, calculate
the power output of the turbine. Show that the process is irreversible and calculate the
change of specific entropy. Heat losses from the turbine are negligible. Analyze the
process using T-s diagram.
