Question: Superheated steam at (580^{circ} mathrm{F}) and (500 mathrm{psia}) is expanded across a turbine, as shown in Figure 10.31, to (540^{circ} mathrm{F}) and 400 psia. (0.9
Superheated steam at \(580^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) and \(500 \mathrm{psia}\) is expanded across a turbine, as shown in Figure 10.31, to \(540^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) and 400 psia. \(0.9 \mathrm{~kW}\) of shaft work is produced. The turbine exhaust is cooled by a \(77^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) reservoir to its dew point at 400 psia.
Determine the:
(a) Flowrate of steam in \(\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{hr}\)
(b) Isentropic efficiency of the turbine
(c) Lost work
(d) Thermodynamic efficiency
