Determine volumetric flow rate of steam at the inlet-outlet


An adiabatic turbine operates by accepting superheated water (steam) at 8 MPa and 500°C at a mass flow rate of 2 kg/s. The water is output from the turbine at a pressure of 20 kPa with a quality of 95%. Neglecting potential and kinetic energy of the steam.

Determine:

a) temperature of water at the outlet (°C)

b) the power produced by the turbine (kW)

c) the volumetric flow rate of the steam at the inlet and outlet (m3/s)

d) Repeat part b considering the kinetic energy of the water to be non-negligible, and that the velocity of the water at the inlet and outlet are 10 m/s and 120 m/s, respectively.
