A steam power plant is operating according to the Rankine cycle with the following conditions: The boiler pressure and condenser pressure are maintaining at 50 bar and 0.6 bar. At the boiler exit, the steam is superheated to 400 °C. The steam at 50 bar and 400 °C is expanding to 0.6 bar through the turbine with an isentropic efficiency of 0.78. At the condenser exit, the working fluid is saturated water at 0.6 bar. Saturated water at 0.6 bar is pumping to 50 bar by the feed pump via an isentropic process. Considering a mass flow rate of 4 kg/s, with aid of the provided t-s chart of H₂O, determine the following items for the power plant: (a) The pumping power at the feed pump. (b) The heat supply at the boiler. (c) The turbine power output. (d) The Thermal Efficiency. (e) The Specific Steam Consumption.
