The issue of steam consumption by the turbine

This post was last edited by nzy1983 on 2010-8-3 at 11:52. Our plant has a turbine; the inlet temperature of this turbine is 320 degrees, with a pressure of 3.3 MPa. The outlet temperature is slightly lower than 320 degrees (it can be considered an isothermal process), and the pressure there is 1.1 MPa. The turbine drives a turbo-generator to produce electricity, while the steam at 1.1 MPa is supplied to various end-users who need heat. Does such a turbine consume steam? In other words, is the amount of steam at the turbine’s inlet equal to that at the outlet? )？ Is the electricity generated through the conversion of the energy contained in the steam, or is it merely the energy of the steam that is utilized (with a change in the energy level of the steam at the inlet and outlet), while the amount of steam remains unchanged?
Are there machines that don’t consume energy?
This is supposed to be the function of converting pressure potential energy into mechanical energy
The mass remains unchanged, while the sensible heat changes; it is still the same amount of steam in terms of tons (excluding drain water), but the pressure and temperature decrease
