Answer

$w_a=71.7\ Btu/lbm$

Work Step by Step

From table A-17E: Inlet ($T_1=2000°R$): $h_1=504.71\ Btu/lbm,\ P_{r_1}=174.0$ Outlet ($P_{r_2}=P_{r_1}\times P_2/P_1=87.0$): $h_{2,s}=417.3\ Btu/lbm$ From the energy balance for the turbine: $\dot{W}=\dot{m}(h_1-h_2)$ The actual work is then: $w_a=\eta\times(h_1-h_{2,s})$ Given $\eta=0.82$ $w_a=71.7\ Btu/lbm$
