(2) Non-ideal Rankine Recognizing that the Rankine cycle described in question (1) cannot be ideal in reality, your supervisor asks you to perform a more accurate Thermodynamic analysis. She tells you that the States 1, 3 and the mass flowrate are identical to those given above. Additionally, the pump manufacturer specifies its isentropic efficiency, np = 0.8. Through experimental measurement techniques (and the mathematical relations in Chapter 12), the specific entropy of water at State 4 is found to be s4 = 7.8302 kJ/kg.K. Given this data, what is the isentropic efficiency of the turbine, nt? Also calculate Wnet, Oh, and 9th- How do these values compare to the results you found in question (1)? Do these seem reasonable to you?
