1a) Superheated steam is expanded isentropically from 1000 psia and a temperature of 900 F to saturated vapor. What is the change in specific enthalpy in BTU/lbm?

1b) Steam expands isentropically in a turbine from 500 psia and 1000 F to 14.7 psia. What is the difference in specific enthalpy, in BTU/lbm, between the initial and final conditions.?
