QUESTION:

Steam enters a turbine operating at steady state at 1 MPa, \(200^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and exits at \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) with a quality of 83%. Stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine (a) the power developed by the turbine, in kJ per kg of steam flowing, (b) the change in specific entropy from inlet to exit, in kJ/K per kg of steam flowing.
