Question: Consider an ideal combined reheat and regenerative cycle in which steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 3.5 MPa, 400C, and is extracted to an open

Consider an ideal combined reheat and regenerative cycle in which steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 3.5 MPa, 400°C, and is extracted to an open feedwater heater at 0.8 MPa with exit as saturated liquid. The remainder of the steam is reheated to 400°C at this pressure, 0.8 MPa, and is fed to the low pressure turbine. The condenser pressure is 10 kPa. Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle and the net work per kilogram of steam.
