A steam turbine operates with 1.6 MPa and 350 deg C steam at its inlet and saturated vapor at 30 deg C at its exit. The mass flow rate of the steam is 22 kg/s, and 610.2 kW of heat is lost through the casing of the turbine. 1. Create a sketch of the problem and indicate the control volume. 2. Write the continuity and energy equations and cross out terms by stating the relevant steady state assumptions. 3. Determine power produced. 4. Determine the specific work.
