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 ____________.

The values of enthalpy of steam at the inlet and outlet of a steam turbine in a Rankine cycle are $$2800$$ $$kJ/kg$$ and $$1800$$ $$kJ/kg$$ respectively. Neglecting pump work, the specific steam consumption in $$kg/kW$$-hour is

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
