Consider a steam power plant operating on a reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the high pressure turbine

Question:

Consider a steam power plant operating on a reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the high pressure turbine at 16 MPa, 550oC and is condensed in the condenser at 10 kPa. If the moisture content of the steam at the exit of the low pressure turbine is not to exceed 5%, determine
(a) The pressure at which the steam should be reheated and
(b) The thermal efficiency (ηth,Rankine) of the cycle. Assume the steam is reheated to the inlet temperature of the high pressure turbine.
