The turbine power came from a 600 kJ/kg enthalpy drop, not from subtracting internal energies blindly.
The gas temperature rose from 300 K to 450 K. The pressure did not scale with Celsius temperature.
Choose a topic, solve the problem before seeing the conclusion, and use the final reasoning trail to identify where your original assumption was supported or needed revision. The goal is not only to reach the answer, but to understand the engineering check behind it.
