In case of emergencies, a turbine is connected to an active steam pipe line using a valve. When the valve is opened, steam from the pipe line, which is initially at 400° C and 7 MPa, flows through the turbine into a 0.69 m³ tank, which is initially evacuated. The valve is closed when the pressure inside the tank is 1.8 MPa and the temperature in the tank is 350° C. If the entire process is completed adiabatically, what is the amount of work generated from the turbine?

In case of emergencies, a turbine is connected to an
active steam pipe line using a valve. When the valve is
opened, steam from the pipe line, which is initially at
400° C and 7 MPa, flows through the turbine into a
0.69 m³ tank, which is initially evacuated. The valve is
closed when the pressure inside the tank is 1.8 MPa
and the temperature in the tank is 350° C. If the entire
process is completed adiabatically, what is the
amount of work generated from the turbine?
