In steam generators, the steam pressure exerts force to the turbine blades connected to a generator which converts the mechanical into electrical energy. Assuming no losses and that all of the energy as steam gets converted back to water is harnessed by the turbine, what is the power (in MW) that can be harnessed from steam flowing at 100 kg/s? Consider the unit of time in the mass rate (“/s" or per second) to be the time in the formula for power. The latent heat of condensation for water is 2,260 kJ/kg.

Question
In steam generators, the
steam pressure exerts force to
the turbine blades connected
to a generator which converts
the mechanical into electrical
energy. Assuming no losses
and that all of the energy as
steam gets converted back to
water is harnessed by the
turbine, what is the power (in
MW) that can be harnessed
from steam flowing at 100
kg/s? Consider the unit of time
in the mass rate (“/s" or per
second) to be the time in the
formula for power. The latent
heat of condensation for
water is 2,260 kJ/kg.
