In a steam power plant operating on the Rankine cycle, steam enters the turbine at $$4$$ $$MPa,$$ $${350^ \circ }C$$ and exits at a pressure of $$15$$ $$kPa.$$ Then it enters the condenser and exits as saturated water. Next, a pump feeds back the water to the boiler. The adiabatic efficiency of the turbine is $$90\% $$. The thermodynamic states of water and steam are given in the table.

$$h$$ is specific enthalpy, $$s$$ is specific entropy and $$v$$ the specific volume; subscripts $$f$$ and $$g$$ denote saturated liquid state and saturated vapour state.

The net work output $$(kJ/kg)$$ of the cycle is

The inlet and the outlet conditions of steam for an adiabatic steam turbine are as indicated in the figure. The notations are as usually followed.

If mass flow rate of steam through the turbine is $$20kg/s,$$ the power output of the turbine (in $$MW$$) is
