A low-pressure steam turbine expands steam from inlet conditions 7 psia, 300◦F to outlet conditions 3 psia, 175OF. Model the steam as an ideal gas with R = 85.83 ft lbf/lbmOR, cp= 0.44 Btu/lbmOR, and calculate a. Work per pound of steam flow. b. Isentropic efficiency . c. Polytropic efficiency. d. Stage efficiency, assuming that the expansion is done in three stages of equal pressure ratio and stage efficiency
