Question:

Water is the working fluid in a vapor power plant. Superheated steam leaves the steam generator at 8.2 MPa, 540oC and enters the turbine at 7.5 MPa, 500oC. The steam expands through the turbine, exiting at 8 kPa with a quality of 94%. Condensate leaves the condenser at 5 kPa, 3oC and is pumped to 9 MPa before entering the steam generator. The pump efficiency is 80%. Determine
(a) The thermal efficiency (ηth) of the cycle and
(b) The net power developed.
