Question:

In a steam power plant 1 MW is added at 700C in the boiler, 0.58 MW is taken out at 40C in the condenser and the pump work is 0.02 MW. Find the plant thermal efficiency. Assuming the same pump work and heat transfer to the boiler is given, how much turbine power could be produced if the plant were running in a Carnot cycle?
