Question

Steam enters the first-stage turbine shown in the figure below with a volumetric flow rate of 105 [m^3/min] at 50 [bar] and 700 ['C]. Steam exits the turbine at 15

[bar] and 350 [°C]. The steam is then reheated at constant pressure to 400 [°C] before entering the second-stage turbine.Steam leaves the second stage as saturated vapor at 0.02[bar]. For operation at steady state, and ignoring stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects. 1- Determine the mass flow rate of the steam, in [kg/h]. 2- Determine the total power produced by the two stages of the turbine, in [kW]. 3- Sketch the process on a P-v diagram with respect to saturation lines. 4- Sketch the process on a T-v diagram with respect to saturation lines. 5- Explain the advantage of using a reheater in the system below by doing the necessary calculations.[10 points]
