Question
A steam turbine operates under steady flow conditions receiving steam at the following state: pressure 15 bar; internal energy 2700 kJ/kg; specific volume $0.17\text{ m}^3\text{/kg}$ and velocity 100 m/s. The exhaust of steam from the turbine is at 0.1 bar with internal energy 2175 kJ/kg, specific volume $15\text{ m}^3\text{/kg}$ and velocity 300 m/s. The intake is 3 meters above the exhaust. The turbine develops 35 kW and heat loss over the surface of turbine is 20 kJ/kg. Determine the steam flow rate through the turbine.
