A basic, nonideal Rankine cycle, using water as the working fluid, has saturated vapor entering the turbine at 20 MPa and saturated liquid exiting the condenser at 20 kPa. The isentropic efficiency of the pump is 0.72, and the mass flow rate of the water is 150 kg/s. Plot the net power produced, the exit quality from the turbine, and the thermal efficiency of the cycle for turbine isentropic efficiencies ranging between 0.5 and 1.0.
