Answer

$w_{out}=439$ kJ/kg

Work Step by Step

The exit stagnation temperature $T_{02}$ is determined to be $$ T_{02}=T_{01}\left(\frac{P_{02}}{P_{01}}\right)^{(k-1) / k}=(963.2 \mathrm{~K})\left(\frac{0.1}{0.75}\right)^{(1.33-1) / 1.33}=584.2 \mathrm{~K} $$ Also, $$ \begin{aligned} c_p&=k c_v=k\left(c_p-R\right)\\ \longrightarrow \quad c_p & =\frac{k R}{k-1} \\ & =\frac{1.33(0.287 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K})}{1.33-1} \\ & =1.157 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K} \end{aligned} $$ From the energy balance on the turbine, $$ -w_{\text {out }}=\left(h_{20}-h_{01}\right) $$ or, $$ w_{\text {out }}=c_p\left(T_{01}-T_{02}\right)=(1.157 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K})(963.2-584.2) \mathrm{K}=438.5 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \cong 439 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{k}g $$
