Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, for the inlet stream, from the steam table, the specific enthalpy and entropy are:
Next, for the liquid-vapor mixture at the outlet stream we need to compute its quality by taking into account that since the turbine is adiabatic, the entropy remains the same:
Thus, the liquid and liquid-vapor entropies are included to compute the quality:
Next, we compute the outlet enthalpy by considering the liquid and liquid-vapor enthalpies:
Then, by using the first law of thermodynamics, the maximum specific work is computed via:
