6. Steam at 40 Bar and 540∘C enters a well-insulated turbine at steady-state and expands to 1 bar. The mass flow rate is 2.0 kg/s. The kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible. If turbine efficiency is 94%, determine the (a) Power developed by the turbine, in kW and (b) the actual entropy at the exit. Compare and discuss the performance of the isentropic and actual expansion through the turbine. (Watch "Turbine entropy-example")
