Question: A steady flow turbine has two inlets and one exit at the first inlet which has an area of 0 . 6 m ^ 2

A steady flow turbine has two inlets and one exit at the first inlet which has an area of 0.6m^2, water at 300c and 7MPa enters the turbine with a velocity of 0.25m/s (state 1). At the second inlet, saturated water vapor at 1.5 Mpa enters the turbine with a volume flow rate 0.4m^3/s (state 2). The water then leaves the turbine with a pressure of 650 Kpa and a specific volume of 0.2 m^3/kg. The heat transfer rate from the water to its surroundings is 0.9 MJ/s. The potential energy and kinetic energies are negligible.
Find volume flow rate at state 3.
find magnitude and direction of the power during the process.
