A Rankine cycle with reheating has a throttle pressure of 135 bars at the turbine inlet and 28 bars reheat pressure, the throttle and reheat temperature of the steam is 540C, condenser pressure is 0.034 bar, mass flow rate of steam is 12 kg/sec. 

Draw the T-s and schematic diagram of the cycle and determine the following: 

(a) ideal turbine work, 

(b) ideal pump work, 

(c) theoretical thermal efficiency,

(d) the steam rate 

(e) heat rate of the cycle, 

(f) actual work of the pump if pump isentropic efficiency is 89%, 

(g) actual turbine work if turbine isentropic efficiency is 90%.
