Steam passes steadliy through a turbine and condenser as shown in the figure below. After expanding through the turbine and producing 1000kW of power, the steam is at a pressure of 0.08 bar and a quality of 87.4%; it enters a shell-and-tube heat exchanger where the steam now condenses on the outside of tubes through which cooling water flows; this condensate continues to flow, finally exiting as saturated liquid at 0.08 bar. The mass flow rate of the condensing steam is 58kg/s. In order to condense the steam, cooling water enters the tubes at 15°C and flows as a separate stream to exit at 35°C with negligible change in pressure. Stray heat transfer is negligible as are kinetic and potential effects. Considering the steam inside the turbine as a system, is the system best described as open, closed or isolated? What is the mass flow rate of steam entering the turbine in kg/s? What is the enthalpy at the inlet of the turbine in k/kg?

The high-pressure gas leaving the compressor is at 120 bar and is cooled to 306 K (516 kJ/kg) before it is sent through the heat exchanger where it exchanges heat with low pressure gas leaving the separator at 2 bar. A 14 K approach is desired at the hot end of the exchanger so that the low-pressure gas leaving the exchanger is at 292 K (526 kJ/kg).
