A basic, nonideal Rankine cycle, using water as the working fluid, has saturated vapor entering the turbine at 2000 psia and saturated liquid exiting the condenser at 4 psia. The mass flow rate of the water is 175 lbm/s. Plot the net power produced, the exit quality from the turbine, and the thermal efficiency of the cycle for (a) turbine isentropic efficiencies ranging between 0.5 and 1.0 with a constant pump isentropic efficiency of 0.70, and (b) pump isentropic efficiencies ranging between 0.30 and 1.0 with a constant turbine isentropic efficiency of 0.75.
