.6 Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 1400 lbf/in? and 1000°F.The condenser pressure is 2 lbf/in² The net power output of

the cycle is 1x10° Btu/h. Cooling water experiences a temperature increase from 60°F to 76°F, with negligible pressure drop, as it passes through the condenser. Determine for the cycle the mass flow rate of steam, in lb/h. ) the rate of heat transfer, in Btu/h, to the working fluid passing through the steam generator. o the thermal efficiency. ) the mass flow rate of cooling water, in lb/h.
