A turbine receives 8 kg/s of air at 9 MPa, 677 C and 60 m/s (pressure, temperature and velocity). It discharges the air at a temperature of 77 C and a velocity of 15 m/s. In addition, there is heat transfer from the turbine to the surroundings for 150 kW. Find the power produced by the turbine in kW and its isentropic efficiency. You may use specific heats at the average temperature.
