In a steam power plant operating on an ideal Rankine cycle, super-heated steam enters the turbine at $$3$$ $$MPa$$ and $${350^ \circ }C.$$ The condenser pressure is $$75$$ $$kPa.$$ Thermal efficiency of the cycle is ___________ percent.

Given data:

For saturated liquid, at $$P=75$$ $$kPa,$$
$$\eqalign{ & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{h_f} = 384.39\,\,kJ/kg, \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{v_f} = 0.001037\,\,{m^3}/kg, \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{s_f} = 1.213\,\,kJ/kg K \cr} $$

At $$75$$ $$kPa,$$ $${h_{fg}} = 2278.6\,\,kJ/kg,$$
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{s_{fg}} = 6.2434\,\,kJ/kg$$-$$K$$

At $$P=3$$ $$MPa$$ and
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,T = {350^ \circ }C\,\,\,$$ (Superheated steam),
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,h = 3115.3\,\,kJ/kg,$$
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,s = 6.7428\,\,kJ/kg$$-$$K$$

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

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 __________.
