Air enters a well-insulated turbine operating at steady-state conditions with negligible inlet velocity, 4 MPa, and 100°C. The air expands to an exit pressure of 100 kPa. The exit velocity and temperature are 90 m/s and 100°C, respectively. The diameter of the exit is 0.6 m. Determine the power developed by the turbine (in kW).
