b) Consider a 36 MW steam power plant operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle between the pressure limits of 25 bar and 0.5 bar. The dryness fraction of the steam at the turbine exit is 90%. The cooling water temperature rise is 12 C, if mechanical and boiler efficiencies are 0.96 and 0.93 respectively. The calorific value of fuel is (C.V=43 MJ/kg). Show the cycle on the T-S diagram, and determine: The inlet turbine temperature. The thermal efficiency of the cycle. Pump power (kW). Cooling water mass flow rate (kg/s). The annual fuel cost if price of fuel is 1200 L.E /ton.
