Steam enters a turbine operating at steady state at 800\deg F and 450lb(f)/(i)n^(2) and leaves as a saturated vapor at 1.4lb(f)/(i)n^(2). The turbine
develops 12,000hp, and heat transfer from the turbine to the surroundings occurs at a rate of 2\times 10^(6)Bt(u)/(h). Neglect kinetic and
potential energy changes from inlet to exit.
Determine the exit temperature, in \deg F, and the volumetric flow rate of the steam at the inlet, in f(t^(3))/(s).
Step 1
Determine the exit temperature, in \deg F.
T_(2)=i,\deg F
