An adiabatic gas turbine uses air to produce work. Air expands adiabatically from 600 kPa and 287 C to 90 kPa and 67 C. Take specific heats at room temperature (300 K). a) Find the isentropic efficiency of the turbine. b) Find the work produced by the turbine for a mass flow rate of 2.5 kg/s. c) If the mass flow rate of air is again 2.5 kg/s, find the entropy generation under steady conditions.
