Answer

$\dot{Q}=455\ kW$

Work Step by Step

From tables A-4 to A-6: Inlet ($P_1=6\ MPa, T_1=600°C$): $h_1=3658.8\ kJ/kg$ Outlet ($P_2=0.5\ MPa, T_2=200°C$): $h_2=2855.8\ kJ/kg$ From the energy balance: $\dot{m}(h_1+\mathcal{V}_1^2/2)=\dot{m}(h_2+\mathcal{V}_2^2/2)+\dot{Q}+\dot{W}_s$ Given $\dot{m}=26\ kg/s,\ \dot{W}_s=20\ MW,\ \mathcal{V}_1\approx0,\ \mathcal{V}_2=180\ m/s$: solving for the heat loss rate: $\dot{Q}=455\ kW$
