1) In a simple steam power cycle shown in the figure, the flow rate of water as a fluid is 40 kg/s. The pressure at the turbine inlet is 15 MPa and the temperature is 600C. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 87% and the pressure of the fluid at the turbine exit is 10 kPa. It is known that the fluid at the condenser outlet is saturated fluid. According to this, a) The flow rate of the water used for the cooling process in the condenser (kg/h), b) Entropy generation (kW/K) occurring in the turbine and condenser, c) Determine the net work from the cycle and the thermal efficiency of the cycle. d) Show the cycle on the Tsdiagram e) Suggest a method that can be used to increase the thermal efficiency of the cycle, and make the design (write clearly how you determined the process conditions in the design). Calculate how much the thermal efficiency increases with this method you suggest.
