Please answer correctly and I'll rate you.Thank you

Water is the working fluid in an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam enters the turbine at 1400 Ibf/in.2 and 1000F and expands to 120 lbf/in.2, where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to the open feedwater heater operating at 120 lbf/in.? The remaining steam expands through the second-stage turbine to the condenser pressure of 6 lbf/in? Saturated liquid exits the open feedwater heater at 120 lbf/in.? The net power output of the cycle is 1x 10'Btu/h. Determine for the cycle: (a) the mass flow rate of steam entering the first stage of the turbine, in lb/h. (b) the rate of heat transfer, in Btu/h, to the working fluid passing through the steam generator. (c) the percent thermal efficiency
