Question

Steam generated in a Rankine steam power cycle at a pressure of 8 MPa and temperature 600oC is fed to a turbine. Exhaust from the turbine enters a condenser at 100 kPa, where it is condensed to saturated liquid, which is then pumped to the boiler. (a) (20 pts.) What is the thermal efficiency η of an ideal Rankine cycle operating at these conditions? (b) (5 pts.) If the net power production of the cycle is 80,000 kW, what is the steam mass flow rate [in kg/s]? (c) (15 pts.) What is the thermal efficiency of the power cycle if the turbine efficiency and pump efficiency are 75%
