Question

Steam enters the turbine of a simple vapor power plant with a pressure of 12 MPa and a temperature of 600 °℃ and expands adiabatically to condenser pressure, p. Saturated liquid exits the condenser at pressure p. The isentropic efficiency of both the turbine and the pump is 84%.(a) For p =30 kPa, determine the turbine exit quality and the cycle thermal efficiency. (b) Plot the quantities of part (a) versus p ranging from 6 kPa to 100 kPa.(Enter (a)thermal efficiency in percent)
