Using Isentropic Processes/EfficienciesWater vapor at 6
Chapter 6, Problem 145P(choose chapter or problem)
Water vapor at 6 MPa, \(600^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) enters a turbine operating at steady state and expands to 10 kPa. The mass flow rate is 2 kg/s, and the power developed is 2626 kW. Stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine (a) the isentropic turbine efficiency and (b) the rate of entropy production within the turbine, in kW/K.
