Step 1
(a) The pressure when dry saturated steam exists: The pressure when dry saturated steam exists is the same as the initial pressure because the process is carried out at constant temperature. Show more…

Three kg of steam has an initial enthalpy of 7200 kJ at 0.145 MPa. Isentropic compression gives a final pressure of 0.29 MPa. Find (a) the initial and final temperatures and (b) the work of steady and nonflow processes. Ans. (a) 110.4°C, 132.4°C; (b) -288.5 kJ, -325.8 kJ.

A steam turbine receives steam at $6 \mathrm{MPa}, 800^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. It has a heat loss of $49.7 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg}$ and an isentropic efficiency of $90 \% .$ For an exit pressure of $15 \mathrm{kPa}$ and surroundings at $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, find the actual work and the reversible work between the inlet and the exit.
