In a steam power plant operating on the ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feed water heater, steam enters the turbine at 9 MPa, 480oC and is condensed in the condenser at a pressure of 7 kPa. Bleeding from the turbine to the FWH occurs at 0.7 MPa. 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.
(b) The thermal efficiency (ηth) of the cycle,
(c) The mass flow rate entering the turbine and
