Question:

Consider a steam power plant operating on the simple ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 4 MPa, 400oC and is condensed in the condenser at a pressure of 100 kPa. The mass flow rate is 10 kg/s. If the boiler receives heat from a source at 1200oC and the condenser rejects heat to a reservoir at 25oC, determine
(a) The thermal efficiency of the cycle,
(b) The energetic efficiency of the cycle and
(c) Draw an energy flow diagram for the cycle. Assume the atmospheric conditions to be 100 kPa and 25oC.
