A steam turbine operates with 1.6 Mpa and 350 degree C steam at its inlet and saturated vapor at 30 degree C at its exit. the mass flow rate of the steam is 22 kg/s,and the turbine produces 12000kW of power.
A) What is the change in specific internal energy from the inlet to outlet?
B) What is the change in specific flow work from the inlet to outlet?
C) Do you think the change in kinetic energy from the inlet to outlet is significant compared to changes in the flow work and internal energy? Reasons?
D) Determine the rate at which heat is lost through the casting of the turbine?
E) What would be the output power if there was not any heat loss?
