please answer quicky i will thumb up.

a power plant with a steam flow rate of 180 kg/s operates on an ideal rankine cycle

-the pump does 21kJ/kg of work

-the conditions at the inlet of the isentropic turbine are 8.0Mpa and 800C

- the condenser is at 40kPa and steam leaves it as a saturated liquid

a) sketch the cycle on a T-s diagram showing saturation lines.

the diagram should be qualitatively correct but you do not need to provide numeric labels on the axes

b) determine the heat input to the steam in kJ/kg

c) determine the work done by the turbine in kJ/kg

d) what is the thermal efficiency of the cycle

e)what is the electrical output of the power plant

f) what is the enthalpy change of the steam during the heat rejection step in kJ/kg K
