Question: How do i find the isentropic exit enthalpy, h 2 ' , which is last variable to solve for the turbine efficiency on this turbine

How do i find the isentropic exit enthalpy, h2', which is last variable to solve for the turbine efficiency on this turbine problem? I solved for the inlet properties at state 1 using superheated steam tables, and got h1=1454.3Btu/lbm and s1=1.626 Btu/lbm-degree R, at P1=900 psia & T1=900-degree F. Then for Outlet properties at state 2, at P2=96 psia & T2=450-degree F, found actual exity enthalpy, h2=1254.49 Btu/lbm, and under isentropic expansion, s1= s2'=1.626 Btu/lbm-degree R, again in superheated steam tables. But now i am stuck on how to find the isentropic exit enthalpy, h2'?
