Solution

The correct option is A $3.60$

Given data:
SPecific enthalpy at turbine inlet,
$h_{1} = 2800 k J / k g$
Specific enthalpy at turbine
outlet: $h_{2} = 1800 k J / k g$
Specific work output by the turbine,
$W_{T} = h_{1} - h_{2} = 2800 - 1800$
$= 1000 k J / k g$
Net work output,
$w_{n} e t = w_{T} - w_{P}$
wherer pump work,
$w_{P} = 0$
$∴ w_{n e t} = w_{T} = 1000 k J / k g$
Specific steam consumption,
$s s c = \frac{3600}{1000} k g / k W h$
$= 3.6 k g / k W h$
