[60 points] Consider a steam power plant that operates on a simple Rankine cycle and generates 250MW of net power. Steam enters the turbine at 12.5MPa and 600C and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 15kPa. The turbine has an efficiency of 82%, the pump has an efficiency of 88%. Stream 1 is a saturated liquid. a) Determine the quality of the steam at the turbine exit. b) Determine the thermal efficiency of the cycle in \%. c) Determine the mass flow rate
