Question: ( 1 ) { 4 5 Marks } Steam from a thermal power plant operating between 5 MPa and 1 0 kPa of pressure, as

(1){45 Marks} Steam from a thermal power plant operating between 5 MPa and 10 kPa of pressure, as shown in the
figure. The superheated vapor enters in a steady state turbine with temperature of 600C. Assuming the turbine
and pump operates as an ideal process and saturated vapor enters in the Superheater and saturated liquid leaves
the condenser, calculate:
(a) The specific heat transfer in Boiler, Superheater and Condenser. (30%}
(b) The efficiency of the thermal power plant and compare with the Carnot efficiency. {40%}
(c) Plot the states in the Temperature-Entropy diagram. (30%)
