Q. 57 Steam with specific enthalpy 3214 kJ/kg enters an adiabatic turbine operating
at steady state with a flow rate 10 kg/s. As it expands, at a point where h is 2920
kJ/kg, 1.5 kg/s is extracted for heating purposes. The remaining 8.5 kg/s further
expands to the turbine exit, where h = 2374 kJ/kg. Neglecting changes in kinetic
and potential energies, the net power output (in kW) of the turbine is _____
Answer: (7581)
Explanation:
