A series of two turbines and a heat exchanger are used to obtain shaft work from steam in a steady state process. The steam enters at 10bar and 250C, and exits the turbine at 3 bars. In the heat exchanger, the steam is heated back up to 250C, while the pressure remains 3 bars. This steam enters the second turbine in which it is expanded to 1bar. Each turbine has an efficiency of 80%. For each kilogram of steam entering the process, find the amount of work produced in each turbine, and the amount of heat added to the heat exchanger.
