There is an adiabatic turbine that has a mass flow of 25 kg/s to which steam enters at 12.5 MPa and 773 K and leaves, after expansion at 10 kPa with a quality of 92%. This turbine produces enough power to drive a compressor, also adiabatic, which is directly coupled to its shaft and compresses 10 kg/s of air, up to 1 MPa and 620 K from an initial condition of 98 kPa and 295 K. Determine the remaining power available that can be used to drive an electric generator also directly coupled to the turbine shaft. (please explain each step)
