A rigid closed vertical cylindrical vessel of 15 cm diameter contains 5 kg water at $80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ with $10 \%$ quality. The water is heated till its temperature reaches $130^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Considering only a horizontal separated interface between liquid and vapor, the dip in the liquid level after the heating process is $\_\_\_\_$ cm (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
Properties of water at various saturation temperatures are given in the table below.
| Temperature | Specific volume | Specific internal energy | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $$ \left(\mathrm{T}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right) $$ |
$$ v_f\left(\mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{kg}\right) $$ |
$$ v_g\left(\mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{kg}\right) $$ |
$$ u_f(\mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg}) $$ |
$$ u_g(\mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg}) $$ |

T, $v$ and $u$ ae temperatue, specific golume, and specific internal energy, respectively. subscripts $f$ and $g$ represent saturated liquid and saturated vapor, respectively.
Heat loss to the surrounding is $$50$$ $$kJ/kg$$ of steam flowing through the turbine. Neglecting changes in kinetic energy and potential energy, the work output of the turbine (in $$kJ/kg$$ of steam) is _____________
Specific volume of liquid $$\left( {{v_f}} \right)$$ and vapour $$\left( {{v_g}} \right)$$ phases, as well as values of saturation temperatures, are given in the table below.
The net entropy generation (considering the system and the thermal reservoir together) during the process is closest to
