Steam at a pressure of 11 bar and a temperature of 320 °C is contained in a large vessel. Connected to the vessel through a valve is a turbine followed by a small initially evacuated tank with a volume of 0.60 m³. When emergency power is required, the valve is opened and the tank fills with steam until the pressure is 11 bar. The temperature in the tank is then 400 °C. The filling process takes place adiabatically and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine the amount of work developed by the turbine in kJ.

Steam generators are a type of heat exchanges that are used inpower plants to generate steam at desired pressure andtemperature (Fig. Q1.b). In a steam generator, saturated liquidwater at 30°C enters a 60-mm diameter tube at the volume flowrate of 12 L/s. After exchanging heat with hot gas, the waterchanges to steam and leaves the generator at a pressure of 9 MPaand a temperature of 400°C. During this process, the diameter ofthe water/steam tube does not change. Where necessary, assume air as an ideal gas and consider R = 287J/(kg.K), Cp = 1005 J/(kg.K), Cv = 718 J/(kg.K).

(iii) Calculate the rate of heat transfer (in MW) required tochange the phase of liquid water to steam.
