Question:

Consider a Rankine-cycle steam power plant operating between a heat source at 500 ° C and a heat sink at 20° C. For safety reasons the boiler pressure cannot be more than 10MPa. The mass flow rate of the steam is 50 kg/s. The pumping process occurs in the liquid region. Determine the maximum thermal efficiency and the electrical generating capacity (MW) of this power plant.
