To address recent power outages, Claremont Colleges Central Facilities Services is considering installing a new steam turbine in the existing Central Plant. The proposed capacity is 33 MW to meet electric needs. (a) What mass flow rate of steam will be required when the proposed turbine operates at its max output? You may assume the turbine would be well insulated with negligible kinetic and potential energy effects.

Central Facilities Services decides to modify the proposed Central Plant upgrade for improved efficiency. In this alternate configuration, low-pressure steam would exit the turbine and heat campus cafeterias. (b) What is the new required steam mass flow rate to produce a maximum power output of 33 MW? (c) What is the new steam temperature at State 1? (d) How much heat is supplied to the cafeterias in kW?
