Question: steam is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. Saturated vapor enters the turbine at 70 bar and saturated liquid exits the condenser


steam is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. Saturated vapor enters the turbine at 70 bar and saturated liquid exits the condenser at a pressure of 0.1 bar. The net power output of the cycle iS 73.81 MW. The turbine and the pump have an isentropic efficiency of and 85%, respectively. a) plot the cycle on a T-S diagram (5 Mks), b) Determine the thermal efficiency (5 Mks), c) Determine the back work ratio (5 Mks), d) Determine the mass flow rate Of the steam (5 Mks). e) Determine the rate of heat transfer, Qin, into the working fluid as it passes through the boiler (5 Mks) f) Determine the rate of heat transfer, Qout. from the condensing steam as it passes through the condenser (5 Mks), g) Determine the mass flow rate of the condenser cooling water, if cooling water enters the condenser at locc and exits at 30'C (10 Mks).
