A CH4–N2 ideal gas mixture enters an insulated turbine at 180 psia and 1300°F, and exits at 18 psia. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 0.85. The turbine receives 20 ft3/s of gas through its intake. Plot the exit temperature and the power produced for (a) CH4 mass fractions varying between 0 and 1, and (b) CH4 mole fractions varying between 0 and 1, assuming that the ideal gas mixture has constant specific heats.
