In a steam power station, steam flows steadily through a 0.3 diameter pipeline from the boiler to the turbine. In the boiler, the steam is 5 MPa and 400 degrees C while reaching the turbine it changes to 2MPa and 300 C. There is a loss of heat about 9 KJ/kg from the pipeline. Calculate the steam flow rate.
