1) Consider an ideal (isentropic) water pump used in an ideal Rankine Cycle. The saturated water enters the pump is at 5 kPa. and exits at (10 + y/2) MPa.

The mass flow rate of the water is (0.25 + $100) kg/s. Find the following assuming that liquid water is incompressible (this is a reasonable assumption). a. Find the temperature at the pump exit. T2 =________ °C (±0.1 °C) b. Find the rate of work of the pump. Wpump=_______W(+ 1%)
