Steam enters a steady-flow turbine with a mass flow rate of 20 kg/s at 600 C (Celsius), 5 MPa, and a negligible velocity. The steam expands in the turbine to a saturated vapor at 500 kPa where 10 percent of the steam is removed for some other use. The remainder of the steam is reheated to 600 C (Celsius in the reheater and then expands to the turbine exit where the pressure is 10 kPa and specific volume is 12.47 m3/kg. If the turbine is adiabatic, determine the ratio of the rate of heat added in the reheater to the rate of work done by the steam during this process.
