Steam at a pressure of 11 bar and a temperature of 320 °C is contained in a large vessel. Connected to the vessel through a valve is a turbine followed by a small initially evacuated tank with a volume of 0.60 m³. When emergency power is required, the valve is opened and the tank fills with steam until the pressure is 11 bar. The temperature in the tank is then 400 °C. The filling process takes place adiabatically and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine the amount of work developed by the turbine in kJ.

Steam at a pressure of 11 bar and a
temperature of 320 °C is contained in a large
vessel. Connected to the vessel through a
valve is a turbine followed by a small initially
evacuated tank with a volume of 0.60 m³.
When emergency power is required, the valve
is opened and the tank fills with steam until
the pressure is 11 bar. The temperature in the
tank is then 400 °C. The filling process takes
place adiabatically and kinetic and potential
energy effects are negligible. Determine the
amount of work developed by the turbine in
kJ.
