A well-insulated turbine operating at steady state develops 20 MW of power for a steam flow rate of 50 kg/s. The steam enters at 5 bar with a velocity of 61 m/s and exits as saturated vapor at 0.06 bar with a velocity of 130 m/s. Neglecting potential energy effects, determine the inlet temperature, in °C.
