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, 160°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.
