In normal operation, a paper mill generates excess steam at 20 bar and 400 degrees Celsius. It is planned to use this steam as the feed to a turbine to generate electricity for the mill. There are 500 kg/hr of steam available, and it is planned that the exit pressure of the steam will be 2 bar. Assuming the turbine is well insulated, what is the maximum power that can be generated by the turbine?
