Steam enters a turbine at 30 bar, 300°C (u = 2750 kJ/kg, h = 2993 kJ/kg) and exits the turbine as saturated liquid at 15 kPa (u = 225 kJ/kg, h = 226 kJ/kg). Heat loss to the surrounding is 50 kJ/kg of steam flowing through the turbine. Neglecting changes in kinetic energy and potential energy, the work output of the turbine (in kJ/kg of steam) is______.
-
- 1417 kJ/kg
- 2717 kJ/kg
- 2728 kJ/kg
- 2564 kJ/kg
Correct Option: B
Work output = (2993 – 226.50) kJ/kg = 2717 kJ/kg
