4 . [ 1 8 Pts ] A mixture of dry air and water vapor is entering an ideal steam turbine 6 0 0 K

4.[18 Pts] A mixture of dry air and water vapor is entering an ideal steam turbine 600 K and
leaves at 400 K. The partial pressures of both air and water entering the turbine are 100 kPa. Use
the standard values from (A.8/9) for this question.
(a) What are the mass fractions? [2 Pts]
(b) Draw this process in a T-s diagram [2 Pts]
(c) Assuming the heat capacities and the specific gas constants do not change, what is the specific work produced
by the turbine calculated by the ideal gas law? [5 Pts](Note: this part aligns with approach 1 in the class example)
(d) Use the steady state continuity equation to get the specific work produced by the turbine. Comment on the
validity of assumptions in (c)[5 Pts].(Note: this part aligns with approach 2 in the class example)
(e) What are the exiting partial pressures of air and water in (d)? Use constant R.[4 Pts] solve equations
