Water vapor at 800 lbf/in.2, 1000 F enters a turbine operating at
steady state and expands adiabatically to 2 lbf/ in.2, developing
work at a rate of 490 Btu per lb of vapor flowing. Determine the
condition at the turbine exit: two- phase liquid–vapor or
superheated vapor? Also, evaluate the isentropic turbine
efficiency. Kinetic and potential energy effects are
negligible.
