Steam enters a well insulated turbine and expands isentropically throughout. At an intermediate pressure,
20 percent of the mass is extracted for process heating and the remaining steam expands isentropically to
9 kPa.
Inlet to turbine; P =
14 MPa, T =
560oC, h =
3486 kJ/kg, s
=6.6kJ/(kgK)
Intermediate state; h =
276kJ/kg
Exit of turbine: P
=9 kPa,
hf=174 kJ\kg.
hg=2574 kJ/kg,
sf=0.6 kJ/(kgK)
sg=8.1 kJ(kgK)
If the flow rate of steam entering the turbine is
100 kg/s, then the work output (in MW) is
- 125.56
