Steam enters a well-insulated turbine operating at steady state at 4 MPa with a specific enthalpy of 2961.0 kJ/kg and a velocity of 12 m/s. The steam expands to the turbine exit where the pressure is 0.07 MPa, specific enthalpy is 2405.4 kJ/kg, and the velocity is 70 m/s. The mass flow rate is 9.01 kg/s. Neglecting potential energy effects, determine the power developed by the turbine, in kW.
