Question
values from steam table for 9000 kPa and 600 C
H = 3631.1
S = 6.9574
![Example 7.6
A steam turbine with rated capacity of 56,400 kW (56,400 kJ.s-1) operates with steam
at inlet conditions of 8600 kPa and 500°C, and discharges into a condenser at a
pressure of 10 kPa. Assuming a turbine efficiency of 0.75, determine the state of
the steam at discharge and the mass rate of flow of the steam.
Solution 7.6
At the inlet conditions of 8600 kPa and 500°C, the steam tables provide:
H₁ = 3391.6 kJ.kg¯1
S₁ = 6.6858 kJ.kg-1.K-1
If the expansion to 10 kPa is isentropic, then, S₂ = $₁ 6.6858 kJ-kg-¹·K-¹.
Steam with this entropy at 10 kPa is wet. Applying the “lever rule” [Eq. (6.96b),
with M = S and x = x2], the quality is obtained as follows:
S₂ = S2₂2 + x₂ (S₂2 - S¹½)
Then, 6.6858 0.6493 + x2(8.1511 - 0.6493)
x₂ = 0.8047
This is the quality (fraction vapor) of the discharge stream at point 2'. The enthalpy
H₂ is also given by Eq. (6.96b), written:
Thus,
=
H₂ = H₂2 + x₂(H²₂ − H ½₂)
-
H₂ = 191.8+ (0.8047)(2584.8 – 191.8) = 2117.4 kJ.kg¯1
(AH)s = H₂ − H₁ = 2117.4 - 3391.6 = -1274.2 kJ-kg-1
-
and by Eq. (7.16),
AH = n(AH)s= (0.75)(-1274.2) = −955.6 kJ.kg-1
Whence, H₂ = H₁ + AH = 3391.6 - 955.6 = 2436.0 kJ-kg-¹
Thus the steam in its actual final state is also wet, with its quality given by:
2436.0 191.8 + x₂(2584.8 - 191.8)
Then S₂ = 0.6493 + (0.9378)(8.1511 - 0.6493) = 7.6846 kJ.kg-¹.K-1
x2 = 0.9378
This value may be compared with the initial value of S₁ = 6.6858.
The steam rate in is given by Eq. (7.13). For a work rate of 56,400 kJ-s¯¹,
W₁ = -56,400 = m (2436.0 – 3391.6) m = 59.02 kg.s-¹

Example 7.6 was solved with data from the steam tables. When a comparable set of
