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 __________.

At the inlet of an axial impulse turbine rotor, the blade linear speed is 25 m/s, the magnitude of absolute velocity is 100 m/s and the angle between them is 25°. The relative velocity and the axial component of velocity remain the same between the inlet and outlet of the blades. The blade inlet and outlet velocity triangles are shown in the figure. Assuming no losses, the specific work (in J/kg) is ____________.
