Question:

Consider a 600-MW regenerative-Rankine-cycle steam power plant. The boiler pressure is 1000 psia, the extraction pressure is 200 psia, and the condenser pressure is 1 psia. The boiler exit temperature is 1000 F. The pressure in the open feedwater heater is 200 psia. The water leaving the condenser is saturated liquid. The turbines and the pumps have isentropic efficiencies of 0.90 and 0.85, respectively. Determine the thermal efficiency of the power plant and the boiler mass flow rate.
