Throughout Chapters 3 and 4, we have assumed that potential and kinetic energy are negligible in standard chemical process equipment. This proble tests how valid these approximations are for turbine. Steam at 14 bar and 300°C enters a turbine through a 5 cm diameter pipe at a velocity of 2.5 m/s. The exhaust exits via a 20 cm diameter pipe that is located 1.5 m below the inlet pipe. The exhaust is saturated steam at 0.9 bar. Assume steadystate, adiabatic operation, but assume nothing else about various contributions to the energy balance.

A. Determine the mass flow rate entering the turbine.

B. Determine the power output from the turbine.

C. Determine the efficiency of the turbine.
