Considering Reheat and Supercritical Cycles

Steam at 4800 lbf/in.2, 1000oF enters the first stage of a supercritical reheat cycle including two turbine stages. The steam exiting the first-stage turbine at 600 lbf/in.2 is reheated at constant pressure to 1000oF. Each turbine stage and the pump have an isentropic efficiency of 85%. The condenser pressure is 1 lbf/in.2 If the net power output of the cycle is 100 MW, determine

(a) the rate of heat transfer to the working fluid passing through the steam generator, in MW.

(b) the rate of heat transfer from the working fluid passing through the condenser, in MW.

(c) the cycle thermal efficiency.
