Mechanical Engineering > GATE 2015 SET-1 > Steam Turbines
Steam enters a well insulated turbine and expands isentropically throughout. At an intermediate pressure, 20 percent of the mass is extracted for process heating and the remaining steam expands isentropically to 9 kPa. Inlet to turbine: P = 14 MPa, T = 560°C, h = 3486 kJ/kg, s = 6.6 kJ/(kg·K) Intermediate stage: h = 2776 kJ/kg Exit of turbine: P = 9 kPa, h_f = 174 kJ/kg, h_g = 2574 kJ/kg, s_f = 0.6 kJ/(kg·K), s_g = 8.1 kJ/(kg·K) If the flow rate of steam entering the turbine is 100 kg/s, then the work output (in MW) is ________

Correct : 123.56 to 127.56
