Using Exergetic Efficiencies

Figure P7.113 shows a turbine operating at steady state with steam entering at p1 = 30 bar, T1 = 350oC and a mass flow rate of 30 kg/s. Process steam is extracted at p2 = 5 bar, T2 = 200oC. The remaining steam exits at p3 = 0.15 bar, x3 = 90%, and a mass flow rate of 25 kg/s. Stray heat transfer and the effects of motion and gravity are negligible. Let T0 = 25oC, p0 = 1 bar. The accompanying table provides property data at key states. For the turbine, determine the power developed and rate of exergy destruction, each in MW. Also devise and evaluate an exergetic efficiency for the turbine.
