A Rankine cycle with superheat uses water as the working fluid. Superheated steam enters the turbine at 18 MPa, 575°C, and saturated liquid exits the condenser at 20 kPa. The mass flow rate of the water is 220 kg/s. The isentropic efficiency of the pump is 0.70. Plot the net power produced, the exit quality (and temperature) of the water from the turbine, and the thermal efficiency of the cycle for turbine isentropic efficiencies ranging from 0.40 to 1.0.
