Question
Consider the steam engine shown in the figure below which is composed of a boiler and an
insulated turbine. The boiler is a rigid tank with a volume of 50 L and initially contains
saturated liquid vapor mixture of H₂0 at 125 kPa with a quality of 0.04. Now, H₂O in the
boiler is heated. When the pressure in the boiler reaches 800 kPa, the pressure regulator
opens and allows the saturated vapor to enter the turbine at a pressure of 800 kPa. Heating
continues until all H₂O remaining in the boiler is saturated vapor. If the exit from the turbine
is a saturated vapor at 125 kPa, determine
(a) the total heat transfer to the boiler and
(b) the total turbine work.
Show the process path of H₂O in the boiler on P-v and T-v diagrams.

Follow-up Question

Can you explain why the total heat transfer and total work depends on only the difference between enthalpies. I do not understand how can we write general energy rate balances for control volumes.
