In a steam power cycle shown in the figure, the
pressure of the water vapor exiting from the boiler with 1 kg mass
at 1 point is P1 = 4 MPa, while the temperature is T1 = 400 oC, the
pressures at the inlet and outlet of the mixing chamber (K.O.) are
P2 = P3 = P4 = 1 MPa. The temperature at the inlet of the low
pressure turbine (A.B.T.) is measured as T4 = 240 oC and the
pressure at the outlet is P5 = 10 kPa. The degree of dryness at
point 6 is X6 = 0.0. The temperature values at the inlet and outlet
of the feed water heater (B.S.I.) are T8 = 160 oC and T9 = 200 oC,
and the efficiency of the pump (P), low pressure turbine and high
pressure turbine (Y.B.T.) are P = 1.0; ABT = 0.9; YBT = 1.0.

Combined cycle power plants are common because of their high efficiency and scalability. They typically combine a gas turbine cycle (the Brayton Cycle) with a steam turbine cycle (the Rankine Cycle) [1].
