Steam flows into a turbine, at a flow rate of 5000 kg/hr. The turbine develops a power of 550KW. The heat loss from the casing of the turbine and bearings is negligible.

(i) Find the change in enthalpy across the turbine, if the inlet velocity is negligible and exit velocity is 360 m/s and the change in potential energy is negligible.

(ii) Find the change in enthalpy across the turbine, if the velocity at entry is 66 m/s and inlet pipe is 3m above the exit pipe.
