Question:

Consider a 400-MW reheat-Rankine-cycle steam power plant. The boiler pressure is 6 MPa, the reheater pressure is 700 kPa, and the condenser pressure is 6 kPa. The exit temperatures of the boiler and the reheater are both 800 K. Assume that the turbines and the pump are isentropic. The water leaving the condenser is saturated liquid. Determine the thermal efficiency of the power plant.
