Steam enters a turbine operating at steady state at 6 MPa, 600 °C with a mass flow rate of 125 kg/min and exits as saturated vapor at 20 kPa, producing power at a rate of 2 MW. Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. Determine (a) the rate of heat transfer, in kW, for a control volume including the turbine and its contents, and (b) the rate of entropy production, in kW/K, for an enlarged control volume that includes the turbine and enough of its surroundings that heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature, 27 °C.

I will appreciate so much if someone can explain this problem, some solution and a Free body diagram to better understand. I know the substance at phase 1 is superheated vapor and the problems states in phase 2 exits like saturated vapor. 

Steam enters a turbine operating at steady state at 6 MPa, 600 °C with a mass flow rate of
125 kg/min and exits as saturated vapor at 20 kPa, producing power at a rate of 2 MW.
Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. Determine (a) the rate of heat
transfer, in kW, for a control volume including the turbine and its contents, and (b) the
rate of entropy production, in kW/K, for an enlarged control volume that includes the
turbine and enough of its surroundings that heat transfer occurs at the ambient
temperature, 27 °C.
