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

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.
Disregarding the pump work, the cycle efficiency (in percentage ) 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 ____________.
