Stream at $$300$$ $$kPa$$ and $${500^ \circ }C\,\,\left( {h = 3486.0\,\,kJ/kg} \right)$$ enters a steam turbine and exits at atmospheric pressure and $${350^ \circ }C\,\,\left( {h = 3175.8\,\,kJ/kg} \right).$$ Heat losses in turbine are $$50$$ $$kW$$ and the mass flow rate is $$0.25$$ $$kg/s$$. Determine the power output of the turbine if kinetic energy losses are negligible.

The Rateau turbine belongs to the category of

A small steam whistle (perfectly insulated and doing no shaft work) causes a drop of $$0.8$$ $$kJ/kg$$ in the enthalpy of steam from entry to exit. If the kinetic energy of the steam at entry is negligible, the velocity of the steam at exit is
