Example 1
A steam turbine operates with inlet of 7 bar,
320oC and is expanded to 1 atm. If the
isentropic efficiency is 75%, determine the shaft
work per kg steam.
Solution: Consider isentropic expansion DS = 0

From steam table,
H1@7 bar, 320˚C = 3100.1 kJ/kg
S1@7 bar, 320˚C = 7.3672 kJ/kg-K
At 1 atm = 1.01325 bar

S2@1.01325 bar = 7.3672 kJ/kg-K = S1 , since ∆S = 0, S1 = 0.
Interpolation: H2@1.01325 bar, isentropic = 2680.7 kJ/kg

Steam at 50 bar, 550oC is expanded in a
backpressure turbine to 10 bar. If the isentropic
efficiency is 70%, determine the temperature of
the outlet steam.

H1@50 bar, 550C = 3537.90 kJ/kg
S1@50 bar, 550˚C = 7.127 kJ/kg-K
S2@10 bar = 7.127 kJ/kg-K, so that ∆S = S1 – S2 = 0,

Interpolation: H2@10 bar, isentropic = 3054.71 kJ/kg
Real expansion = H1 – H3

Solve for H3 = 3199.67 kJ/kg

From steam table, T10 bar,H3 = 370oC
Example 2
Steam at 50 bar, 550oC is expanded in a
backpressure turbine to 10 bar. If the isentropic
efficiency is 70%, determine the temperature of
the outlet steam.
Solution 2: From H-S diagram,

H1@50 bar, 550C = 3550 kJ/kg
H2@10 bar, isentropic = 3050 kJ/kg
Let real expansion = H1 – H3
𝐻1 − 𝐻3
η𝑖𝑠 =

Example 4
Steam at 40 bar, 400oC enters a high-pressure turbine and expands to 8 bar. The extracted
steam is then reheated to 400oC and is expanded again to 10 kPa in a low-pressure turbine.
Calculate the thermal efficiency of the steam cycle, if the specific heat of the boiler is 3000
kJ/kg. Assume the pump work is negligible and the steam cycle is ideal.

S4 (7.5757 kJ/kg-K) falls between entropy of
liquid (sf) and gas (sg), hence S4 is affected
