An adiabatic steam turbine produces 3000 hp with a mass flow rate of 20,000 pounds per hour. The steam enters at 1000 °F and 800 psi and exits at 2 psi. Calculate the:

a. Phase of fluid exiting the turbine. If it is saturated, determine the quality

b. Phase of fluid exiting the turbine if it operated isentropically. If it is saturated, determine the quality.

Show all work, equations, and units clearly.
