Steam enters and leaves a turbine through a 50 mm, med wt steel pipe. At the entrance, the steam saturated at 2500 kPa and at the discharge, it is at 275 kPa with 90% quality. 300 kW of power are developed in the turbine but heat losses amount to 2432 kcal/hr. Determine: (a) the mass flow rate of steam used in kg/s Ans. 1.25 kg/s (b) the entering and the exit steam velocities in m/s Ans. 45.275 m/s. 335.35 m/s
