         A large vessel contains steam at a pressure of 20 bar and a temperature of 350°C. This large vessel is connected to a steam turbine through a valve followed by a small initially evacuated tank with a volume of 0.8 m3. During emergency power requirement, the valve is opened and the tank fills with steam until the pressure is 20 bar. The temperature of the tank is then 400°C. Assume that the filling process takes place adiabatically and the changes in potential and kinetic energies are negligible. By drawing the control volume, calculate the amount of work developed by the turbine in kJ.
