Steam at 50 Bar and 500oC is expanded isentropically through a single stage turbine to a condenser operating at 1 bar.

Assuming the steam at turbine exit is Dry Saturated Steam and the turbine is required to produce a power output of 5.33MW. Calculate the required steam mass flow rate in kg/s to 2 decimal places.
