The figure shows a turbine operating at a steady state that provides power to an air compressor and an electric generator. Air enters the turbine with a volumetric flow rate of \( 1.0 \mathrm{~m}^{3} / \mathrm{s} \) at \( 527^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, 10.0 \) bar and exits the turbine at \( 107^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, 1 \) bar. The turbine provides power of \( 900 \mathrm{~kW} \) to the compressor and \( 1400 \mathrm{~kW} \) to the generator. Air can be modeled as an ideal gas and kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible.
