Following up on the work of the engineer in Problem 1, another engineer proposes adding several modifications to the steam power plant. He proposes in his design that the heat be added to the steam at 550°C, that the heat still be rejected to cooling water at 20°C, and that 300 MW of power be produced from a heat input of 400 MW. Is this process possible?

Problem 1

An engineer brings you a basic design for a steam power plant. The heat is input to the plant from a source at 500°C, and heat is rejected to cooling water at 20°C. The power plant is to produce 250 MW of power while receiving heat at a rate of 700 MW. Is this process possible?
