Steam enters an adiabatic turbine at 80 bar, 400°C, and leaves at 1 bar in a saturated vapor state. At steady state, the turbine develops work equal to 1 MW through the turbine. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible.
(a) Determine the mass flow rate of the steam, in kg/s.
a) 8.74 kg/s
b) 10.32 kg/s
c) 12.45 kg/s
d) 14.56 kg/s
