Temperature of nitrogen in a vessel of volume $$2{m^3}$$ is $$288$$ $$K.$$ $$A$$ $$U$$-tube manometer connected to the vessel shows a reading of $$70$$ $$cm$$ of mercury (level higher in the end open to atmosphere). The universal gas constant is $$8314$$ $$J/kmol$$-$$K,$$ atmospheric pressure is $$1.01325$$ bar, acceleration due to gravity is $$9.81$$ $$m/{s^2}$$ and density of mercury is $$13600$$ $$kg/{m^3}.$$ The mass of nitrogen (in $$kg$$) in the vessel is _________

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

If the flow rate of steam entering the turbine is $$100$$ $$kg/s,$$ then the work output (in $$MW$$) is __________.
