Steam flows through a turbine at a rate of 30 kg/s. It enters the turbine at 600 degrees C and 4 MPa and leaves at 300 degrees C and 600 kPa.

(a). If the turbine is operated adiabatically, what is the power produced by the turbine? (MW)

(b). It is discovered that this turbine only produces 15.444 MW of power, what is rate of energy loss due to heat transfer? (kW)

(c). Given the actual rate of work supplied by the turbine, what is the efficiency of this turbine? (%)
