8-115 Steam at 9 MPa and 500°C enters a two-stage adiabatic turbine at a rate of 15 kg/s. Ten percent of the steam is extracted at the end of the first stage at a pressure of 1.4 MPa for other use. The remainder of the steam is further expanded in the second stage and leaves the turbine at 50 kPa. If the turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 88 percent, determine the wasted power potential during this process as a result of irreversibilities. Assume the surroundings to be at 25°C. | |
