Air expands through an ideal turbine from 1 MPa, 900 K to 0.1 MPa, 500K. The inlet velocity is small compared to the exit velocity of 100 m/s. The turbine operates at steady state and develops a power output of 3,200 kW. Heat transfer between the turbine and its surroundings and any potential energy effects are negligible.
a. Calculate the mass flow rate of air, in kg/s, and the exit area, in m^2.
