PTL (PRAISE THE LORD)

A one-stage Reheat Steam Power Plant operates on 362,500 kg/h of throttle steam expanding in a polytropic Turbine.
From steam Tables, gives the following:
h1 = 3152.6
h2 = 2821.7
h3 = 3271.2 kJ/kg
h4 = 2545.6
h5 = 326.51
hB5 = 335.41
Other data: 120 KVA AC Generator with power factor of 0.85
Turbine mechanical efficiency, e m =78%
Heat loss from Turbine, Q loss = 10% of h1
