Five hundred kilograms per hour of steam drives a turbine. The steam enters the turbine at 44 atm
and 450C at a linear velocity of 60 m/s and leaves at a point 5 m below the turbine inlet at atmospheric
pressure and a velocity of 360 m/s. The turbine delivers shaft work at a rate of 70 kW and the heat loss
from the turbine is estimated to be 104
kcal/h. Calculate the specific enthalpy change associated with
the process.
A. -650 kJ/kg
B. -600 kJ/kg
C. -550 kJ/kg
D. -500 kJ/kg
A. -650 kJ/kg
