Steam of 6 MPa and 400oC produced in a boiler at a flow rate of 0.406 m3/sec is passed through a turbine, after which it becomes a saturated vapor and its pressure drops to 60kPa. The heat loss from the turbine to the environment of 37oC is 61 kJ/kg. Obtain: a) The power produced in the turbine. b) The maximum power that could be produced. c) The second law efficiency of the turbine. d) The irreversibility associated with this process.
