A power plant operates on the Rankine cycle and uses a nuclear reactor to generate the steam that enters the turbine


A power plant operates on the Rankine cycle and uses a nuclear reactor to generate the steam that enters the turbine. The condenser receives cooling water from a chiller and discharges the used water to a nearby lake. Kinetic and potential effects are negligible. Stray heat transfer from the turbine, pump, and condenser can be neglected. Data are provided in the table for the system operating at steady state.
