QUESTION:

Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 10 MPa and 5008C and leaves at 10 kPa with a quality of 90 percent. Neglecting the changes in kinetic and potential energies, determine the mass flow rate required for a power output of 5 MW.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

Steam expands in a turbine. The mass flow rate of steam for a power output of  is to be determined.

Assumptions are

1. This is a steady-flow process since there is no change with time.

2. Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible.

3. The device is adiabatic and thus heat transfer is negligible.
