A steam turbine, as shown in Figure Q3, operates at steady state with inlet conditions of Pi= 2 MPa, T1 = 480°C and producing 4000 kW. Saturated steam leaves the turbine at a pressure of 0.1 bar where it is condensed at 45.81 °C in the condenser. There is no significant heat transfer between the turbine and the condenser and their surroundings, and kinetic and potential energy changes between inlet and exit are negligible.

An adiabatic turbine operates at steady state. Air enters the turbine at a pressure and temperature of 800 kPa and 1100 K, respectively, and exits at 100 kPa. A temperature sensor at the turbine exit indicates that the exit air temperature is 700 K. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible, and the air can be treated as an ideal gas. Determine if the exit temperature reading can be correct. If yes, determine the turbine isentropic efficiency.
