A steam turbine operates adiabatically at a power level of 3500 kW. Steam enters the turbine at 2400 kPa and 500^oC and exhausts from the turbine at 20 kPa as saturated vapor. What is the flow rate of steam run through the turbine, and what is the turbine efficiency? Draw the process on the P-H diagram.

Steam enters the high-pressure turbine of a steam power plant that operates on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle at 6 MPa and 500°C and leaves as saturated vapor. Steam is then reheated to 400°C before it expands to a pressure of 10 kPa. Heat is transferred to the steam in the boiler at a rate of 6*104 kW. Steam is cooled in the condenser by the cooling water from a nearby river, which enters the condenser at 7°C. Show the...
