The operation of turbine is to harvest energy from the high temperature steam. Consider a scenario where superheated vapor flowing steadily through an adiabatic turbine with an initial state of 10 MPa, 600 °C and 90 m/s. The fluid leaves the turbine at 75 kPa, 55 m/s and at a quality of 0.95. The fluid is estimated to be flowing at 18 kg/s. Determine: i. The kinetic energy change of the steam (in kJ) ii. The turbine output power from the operation (in MW) iii. The opening area of the turbine's inlet (in cm²)
