Design a Rankine cycle that has a maximum allowed pressure of 20 MPa and a maximum allowed temperature of 550°C, and a minimum allowed pressure of 10 kPa. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 0.84, and the isentropic efficiency of the pumps is 0.60. The thermal efficiency of the cycle needs to be at least 42%. The net power to be produced by the cycle is 400 MW. Include a design for the external cooling water system with a maximum allowed flow rate for the external cooling water of 10,000 kg/s.
