Consider a steam power plant that operates on a regenerative Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 150 MW. Steam enters the turbine at10 MPa and 500°C and the condenser at 10kPa. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 80percent, and that of the pumps is 95 percent.Steam is extracted from the turbine at 0.5 MPato heat the feed water in an open windcheater. Water leaves the feed water heater as a saturated liquid. Assume a source temperature of 1300 K and a sink temperature of 303 K.rmine the thermal efficiency (%) ofcycle.
