Answer:
The plot of the function production rate m(t) (in kg/min) against time t (in min) is attached to this answer.
The production rate function M(t) is:
(1)
The Laplace transform of this function is:
(2)
Explanation:
The function of the production rate can be considered as constant functions by parts in the domain of time. To make it a continuous function, we can use the function Heaviside (as seen in equation (1)). To join all the constant functions, we consider at which time the step for each one of them appears and sum each function multiply by the function Heaviside.
For the Laplace transform we use the following rules:

a)
b) %
Explanation:
A) First, let's write the energy balance:
(The enthalpy of an ideal gas is just function of the temperature, not the pressure).
The Cp of air is: 1.004 And its specific R constant is 0.287
.
The only unknown from the energy balance is , so it is possible to calculate it. The power must be negative because the work is done by the fluid, so the energy is going out from it.
B) The isentropic efficiency (e) is defined as:
Where is the isentropic enthalpy at the exit of the turbine for the isentropic process. The only missing in the last equation is that variable, because
can be obtained from the energy balance
An entropy change for an ideal gas with constant Cp is given by:
You can review its deduction on van Wylen 6 Edition, section 8.10.
For the isentropic process the equation is:
Applying logarithm properties:
Then,
So, now it is possible to calculate :
Finally, the efficiency can be calculated:
%
