Calculate the reversible work out of the two-stage turbine shown in Problem 4.86, assuming the ambient is at 25?C. Compare this to the actual work, which was found to be 18.08 MW.
Problem 4.86
Cogeneration is often used where a steam supply is needed for industrial process energy. Assume that a supply of 5 kg/s steam at 0.5 MPa is needed. Rather than generating this from a pump and boiler, the setup in Fig. P4.86 is used to extract the supply from the high-pressure turbine. Find the power the turbine now cogenerates in this process.
