Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 5 MPa, 500 ºC, and 80 m/s and leavesat 50 kPa, 150 ºC, and 140 m/s. If the power output of the turbine is 8MW, determine the following:a. The mass flow rate of the steam flowing through the turbine,b. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine,c. Draw both the actual and isentropic processes that the steamundergoes from state 1 to state 2 on a T-s diagram. Be sure to includethe following:i. where states 1, 2s, and 2a are in the diagramii. the corresponding x and y values for the states listed aboveiii. the corresponding isobar lines and their valuesiv. the names of the regions where each state is located (i.e., eithercompressed liquid, superheated vapor, saturated liquid-vaporregion, saturated liquid line, saturated vapor line, critical point)
