Question: Consider a thermal machine through which water vapor flows at 3500 kg/min, with the following characteristics: Boiler output: Temperature of 290 C, pressure of 1900

Consider a thermal machine through which water vapor flows at 3500 kg/min, with the following characteristics: Boiler output: Temperature of 290 C, pressure of 1900 kPa, volume of 50 m/sec and z of 100 m Turbine output: pressure of 0.015 kPa, x of 90%, volume of 50 m/sec and z of 25m Condenser outlet: Temperature of 45 C, pressure of 0.014 kPa, volume of 50 m/sec and z of 25 m Pump Work 4KJ7Kg Determine: a. The Power Generated by the Turbine, Is the Power Consumed in the pump 10% of the Power Generated by the Turbine. b. Heat per Unit of Time Discarded in the Condenser, Heat Delivered per Unit of Time to the Boiler and Thermal Efficiency of the Cycle c. If the cycle has a Carnot Efficiency of 88%, what will be the Maximum Net Power that can be Generated?
