A turbine produces \( 30 \ \mathrm{MW} \) at a mass flow of \( 55 \ \mathrm{kg/s} \). The specific work is approximately

  • A.1833 kJ/kg
  • B.55 kJ/kg
  • C.1.83 kJ/kg
  • D.545 kJ/kg

Answer: D

Correct answer: 545 kJ/kg

Specific work is power over mass flow:

\[ w = \frac{30 \times 10^6}{55} \approx 545\,000 \ \mathrm{J/kg} = 545 \ \mathrm{kJ/kg} \]

Which at a \( c_p \) of 1150 corresponds to a total temperature drop of about 475 K across the turbine - a figure typical of a high pressure turbine driving a large compressor.
