Steam enters a well insulated turbine and expands isentropically throughout. At an intermediate pressure, $$20$$ percent of the mass is extracted for process heating and the remaining steam expands isentropically to $$9$$ $$kPa.$$ Inlet to turbine $$P=14$$ $$MPa,$$ $$T = {560^ \circ }C,$$ $$h=3486$$ $$kJ/kg,$$ $$s=6.6$$ $$kJ/(kg.K)$$

Intermediate stage: $$h=2776$$ $$kJ/kg$$
Exit of turbine : $$P=9kPa,$$ $${h_f} = 174\,\,kJ/kg,$$
$$\eqalign{ & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{h_g} = 2574\,\,kJ/kg,\,\,\,{s_f} = 0.6kJ/\left( {kg.K} \right); \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{s_g} = 8.1\,\,kJ/(kg.K) \cr} $$

If the flow rate of steam entering the turbine is $$100$$ $$kg/s,$$ then the work output (in $$MW$$) is __________.

An ideal reheat Rankine cycle operates between the pressure limits of $$10$$ $$kPa$$ and $$8$$ $$MPa,$$ with reheat being done at $$4$$ $$MPa.$$ The temperature of steam at the inlets of both turbines is $${500^ \circ }C$$ and the enthalpy of steam is $$3185$$ $$kJ/kg$$ at the exit of the high pressure turbine and $$2247$$ $$kJ/kg$$ at the exit of low pressure turbine. The enthalpy of water at the exit from the pump is $$191$$ $$kJ/kg$$. Use the following table for relevant data. GATE ME 2014 Set 1 Thermodynamics - Rankine Cycle Question 22 English

Steam with specific enthalpy $$\left( h \right)\,\,3214\,\,kJ/kg$$ enters an adiabatic turbine operating at steady state with a flow rate $$10kg/s.$$ As it expands, at a point where $$h$$ is $$2920$$ $$kJ/kg,$$ $$1.5$$ $$kg/s$$ is extracted for heating purposes. The remaining $$8.5kg/s$$ further expands to the turbine exit, where $$h=2374$$ $$kJ/kg$$. Neglecting changes in kinetic and potential energies, the net power output (in $$kW$$) of the turbine is __________.
