Steam enters a turbine at 600°C and 6000 kPa, and leaves the turbine as saturated vapor at 200 kPa. Heat is transferred from the turbine to the surroundings in the amount of 30 kJ per kilogram of steam flowing through the turbine. The mass flow rate of steam through the turbine is 20 kg/s. Determine the rate of work done by the steam in the turbine, in kW.

Work and Heat Transfer

It is generally related to thermal engineering which tells about the use, creation, conversion and transfer of heat energy between the systems. It is also considered that to transfer heat from one source to another, transfer of masses is also required. There are various mechanisms by which, transfer of heat takes place i.e. thermal conduction, convection, radiation or by change of phase. All these mechanisms have their own specific features which sometimes occur simultaneously within the same system.
