Question: 2 . 1 0 A Rankine cycle operates with inlet steam at 7 5 bar and 3 2 0 deg C , condensing at

2.10 A Rankine cycle operates with inlet steam at 75 bar and 320\deg C, condensing at 50\deg C, and generates250 MW of power. The cycle features a single stage of reheat that returns the steam to 320\deg C. A closed-type feedwater heater receives bled steam at the reheat pressure and cascades the drains back to the condenser. The high-pressure turbine has a polytropic efficiency of 91%, while the low-pressure turbine operates at 93% efficiency. The pump operates isentropically. Calculate (a) the mass flow rate of the steam at the turbine inlet in kilogram per second. (b) the cycle efficiency, (c) the cycle work ratio. Use TTD =-2.5\deg C.
