Consider an ideal reheat Rankine cycle where steam enters the high pressure turbine at 3.5 MPa, 400 ^oC and then expands to 0.8 MPa, it is then reheated to 400 ^oC and expands to 10 kPa in the low pressure turbine. Calculate the cycle efficiency and the moisture content leaving the low pressure turbine.

The reheat pressure affects the operating variables and thus turbine performance. Repeat the previous problem using reheat pressures 0.6 MPa and 1.0 MPa.
