Analysis A sketch of the system and the T- sdiagram of the process are given
in Fig. 7–50.
(a) The enthalpies at various states areState 1:State 2a:The exit enthalpy of the steam for the isentropic process h 2 sis determined from
the requirement that the entropy of the steam remain constant (s 2 ss 1 ):State 2s:Obviously, at the end of the isentropic process steam exists as a saturated
mixture since sfs 2 ssg. Thus we need to find the quality at state 2sfirst:andBy substituting these enthalpy values into Eq. 7–61, the isentropic efficiency
of this turbine is determined to be(b) The mass flow rate of steam through this turbine is determined from the
