Steam at 4.5 MPa and 500 C enters the turbine with a velocity of 60 m/s and its mass flow rate is 5,000 kg/h. The steam leaves the turbine at a point 3m below the turbine inlet with a velocity of 350 m/s. The heat loss from the turbine is 100,000 kJ/hr and the shaft work produced is 950hp. A small portion of the exhaust steam from the turbine is passed through a throttling valve and discharges at atmospheric pressure. What is the temperature of the steam leaving the valve?
