QUESTION:

As shown in Fig. P4.105, hot industrial waste water at 15 bar, \(180^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) with a mass flow rate of 5 kg/s enters a flash chamber via a valve. Saturated vapor and saturated liquid streams, each at 4 bar, exit the flash chamber. The saturated vapor enters the turbine and expands to 0.08 bar, x = 90%. Stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. For operation at steady state, determine the power, in hp, developed by the turbine.
