PLEASE ANSWER ASAP AND USE THERMODYNAMICS LAWS AND RULES!! b)
As shown in the figure alongside, a system undergoing a power cycle develops a net power output of 1 MW while receiving energy by heat transfer from steam condensing from saturated vapor to saturated liquid at a pressure of 100 kPa . Energy is discharged from the cycle by heat transfer to a nearby lake at \(17^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). These are the only significant heat transfers. Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. For operation at steady state,
a) determine the minimum theoretical steam mass flow rate, in \(\mathrm{kg}/\mathrm{s}\), required by any such cycle. (10 Mks)
b) if the actual mass flow rate is \(0.3\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{s}\), determine the thermal efficiency of the cycle. (10 Mks)
