Steam enters a turbine operating at steady state at 700oF and 450 lbf/in2 and leaves as a saturated vapor at 0.8 lbf/in2. The turbine develops 12,000 hp, and heat transfer from the turbine to the surroundings occurs at a rate of 2 x 106 Btu/h. Neglect kinetic and potential energy changes from inlet to exit. Determine the exit temperature, in oF, and the volumetric flow rate of the steam at the inlet, in ft3/s.

A steam power plant operates on the reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 12.5 MPa and 5508C at a rate of 7.7 kg/s and leaves at 2 MPa. Steam is then reheated at constant pressure to 400 C before it expands in the low-pressure turbine. Steam leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid. The exit of the turbine is saturated at the condenser pressure (a) the condenser pressure, (b) the net power output, and (c) the thermal...
