The blade and fluid velocities for an axial turbine are as shown in the figure. GATE ME 2016 Set 3 Turbo Machinery - Turbo Machinery Question 20 English

The magnitude of absolute velocity at entry is $$300$$ $$m/s$$ at an angle of $${65^0}$$ to the axial direction, while the magnitude of the absolute velocity at exit is $$150$$ $$m/s.$$ The exit velocity vector has a component in the downward direction. Given that the axial (horizontal) velocity is the same at entry and exit, the specific work (in $$kJ/kg$$) is ______________.
