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
