Water vapor at 5 bar, 320°C enters a turbine operating at steady state with a volumetric flow rate of 3 m3/s and expands adiabatically to an exit state of 1 bar, 200°C. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine for the turbine: (a) the power developed, in kW. (b) the rate of entropy production, in kW/K. (c) the percent isentropic turbine efficiency.
