 Consider an ideal Rankine cycle using steam as the working fluid.

Consider an ideal Rankine cycle using steam as the working fluid. The condenser pressure is 0.1 bar. The boiler pressure is 20 bar. The steam leaves the boiler as a saturated vapor. If we consider the feed to the turbine as state 1 , fill in the data table below. The thermal efficiency of this ideal cycle is % The thermal efficiency of a Carnot cycle operating between the minimum and maximum temperature in this cycle is %. NUMBER ROUNDING INSTRUCTION Please follow the number rounding pattern for each variable to avoid errors. For instance, - round all enthalpy calculations to 1 decimal place, entropy to 4 decimal place as it is in the steam table. - efficiency calculation can be rounded to 1 decimal place % or nearest whole number %. - q2 value to 2 decimal places, etc. - In summary, after your first attempt you can easily observe the pattern of numbers/decimal places, and then just try it again following the pattern. There are 5 attempts allowed to encourage practicing with the problem. Due to the nature of the question, it is non-straightforward to code an error tolerance to accommodate the variety of number rounding for all the properties
