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.
