Question:

A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat-regenerative Rankine with one reheat and two open feed water heaters. Steam enters the high pressure turbine at 10 MPa, 600oC and leaves the low pressure turbine at 7 kPa. Steam is extracted from the turbine at 2 MPa and 275 kPa, and it is reheated to 540oC at a pressure of 1 MPa. Water leaves both feedwater heaters as saturated liquid. Heat is transferred to the steam in the boiler at a rate of 6 MW. Determine
(a) The thermal efficiency (ηth) of the cycle.
(b) The mass flow rate of steam through the boiler,
(c) The net power output and
