Steam at P1 = 1600 psi and T1 = 1000°F enters a turbine operating at steady state at a mass flow rate of mi= 2 x 10° lb/hr with 20% of the entering mass flow extracted at P2 = 160 psi and T2= 450°F. The rest of the steam exits as a two-phase liquid- vapor mixture at P3 = 1 psi, with a quality of x3 = 80%. Determine the work output of the turbine per unit mass entering the turbine in Btu/lb and the power output of the turbine in Btu/hr.

State what to find , assumption, and a simple sketch of the turbine. and then solve for the work output. 

Chapter 4: Conservation of Energy

Steam at \( P_1 = 1600 \) psi and \( T_1 = 1000^\circ F \) enters a turbine operating at steady state at a mass flow rate of \( m_1 = 2 \times 10^6 \) lb/hr, with 20% of the entering mass flow extracted at \( P_2 = 160 \) psi and \( T_2 = 450^\circ F \). The rest of the steam exits as a two-phase liquid-vapor mixture at \( P_3 = 1 \) psi, with a quality of \( x_3 = 80\% \). Determine the work output of the turbine per unit mass entering the turbine in Btu/lb and the power output of the turbine in Btu/hr.

**Given:**

- \( P_1 = 1600 \) psi
- \( P_2 = 160 \) psi
- \( P_3 = 1 \) psi
- \( T_1 = 1000^\circ F \)
- \( T_2 = 450^\circ F \)
- \( x_3 = 80\% \)
- \( m_1 = 2 \times 10^6 \) lb/hr
- \( m_2/m_1 = 0.20 \)

**Find:**

- Work output of the turbine per unit mass in Btu/lb
- Power output of the turbine in Btu/hr

**Turbine Sketch:**   
(Diagram showing the steam flow, indicating extraction and exit points, with respective pressures and qualities)

**Assume:**

(Assumptions list not provided here)

**Property Data:**

- \( h_1 = 1487.1 \) Btu/lb
- \( h_2 = 1246.1 \) Btu/lb
- \( h_3 = h_3 [P_3, x_3] \)
  - \( hf_3 = 69.74 \) Btu/lb
  - \( hg_3 = 1105.8 \) Btu/lb

*Note: \( h_3 \) needs to be calculated based on \( P_3 \) and \( x_3 \).*
