Is there any heat loss from the steam turbine


The steam at the inlet is 20 bar absolute with superheat of 135 C . The steam at the outlet is 1 bar absolute and 100 C. The velocity of the steam at inlet is 3m/s, and 12 m/s at the outlet. The shaft work (electricity) produced by the turbine is 1000 kw. The flow rate of the steam is 1000 kg/h. Is there any heat loss from the steam turbine? If yes, how much? Comment on the error to be introduced by neglecting the kinetic energy in the calculation.
