Problem 152HP

A steam engine based on a turbine is shown in Fig. P4.152 The boiler tank has a volume of 100 L and initially contains saturated liquid with a very small amount of vapor at 100 kPa. Heat is now added by the burner. The pressure regulator, which keeps the pressure constant, does not open before the boiler pressure reaches 700 kPa. The saturated vapor enters the turbine at 700 kPa and is discharged to the atmosphere as saturated vapor at 100 kPa. The burner is turned off when no more liquid is present in the boiler. Find the total turbine work and the total heat transfer to the boiler for this process.
