5. Saturated water vapor enters the turbine of a basic,

ideal Rankine cycle at a pressure of 10 MPa. Saturated

liquid water exits the condenser of the cycle at a

pressure of 20 kPa. If the mass flow rates of the water

through the cycle 130 kg/s, determine the net power

produced in the cycle and the thermal efficiency of the

cycle. What is the maximum possible efficiency for a

power cycle under these conditions? [MO1, MO2, MO3,

MO4]
