Answer / kumar
if u want to rotate the steam turbine with air, u have to
rotate a large compressor.
support u need turbine of 3MW, u have to rotate the
compressor with approximately 10MW. this will give
efficiency in minus values.
here temperature is not the parameter, only required
pressure to rotate the turbine is the main parameter.

Your question is In the steam turbine the medium ie. air is
going to used insted of steam.
The turbine will not run. the turbine may get damaged. the
turbine blades are designed to expand the steam not to
expand the air. there may be churning effect in the turbine.
