A steam turbine operating at steady state produces 6,000 hp with a heat transfer to the surroundings at a rate of 360,000 Btu/hr. Steam enters at 600 0F, at 200 psi and exits as a saturated vapor at 8 psi. Neglecting the KE and PE determine the volumetric flow rate of the steam at the inlet in ft3/s.
