Your company produces small power units that generate electrical energy by expanding the residual process steam in your turbine. You are asked to study the turbine to determine if it is operating as efficiently as possible. One way to ensure good efficiency is to have the turbine operating adiabatically. Gauge shows that for steam 250 degrees and 20 bar:  -The working freckle is 86.5 hp  -The steam consumpvtion rate is 1000 lbm/h   -The steam leaves the turbine saturated at 1 bar Is the turbine operating adiabatically? Base your answers on calculations.
