4. Figure 1 shows a pump and pipe network being used to transport heptane at 120°F to a large,
elevated, closed storage tank. The tank is pressurized and maintained at 18 psia. The volumetric
flow rate of the heptane is 500 gpm.

1. Steam leaves the boiler of a power plant at 5 MPa, 500°C as shown in the following figure. As
the steam passes to the turbine, the temperature drops to 496°C before it enters the turbine due to
a heat loss through the pipe's insulation. The pressure drop in the pipe connecting the boiler to
the turbine is negligible. The steam then passes through an adiabatic turbine and exits at 10 kPa.
The turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 85% and is delivering 1000 MW of power. Determine
the following.
