Water at 20 bar, 400 degree C enters a turbine operating at steady state and exits at 1.5 bar. Stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. A hard-to-read data sheet indicates that the quality at the turbine exit is 98%. Can this quality value be correct? If no. what could the quality be? If yes. determine the power developed by the turbine, in kJ per kq of water flowing. Ans: No. 98.33% minimum
