Water at p1 = 20 bar, T1 = 400oC enters a turbine operating at steady state and exits at p2 = 1.5 bar, T2 = 230oC. The water mass flow rate is 4000 kg/hour. Stray heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible.

Determine the power produced by the turbine, in kW, and the rate of entropy production in the turbine, in kW/K.
