Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 1400 lbf/in2 and 1400F. The condenser pressure is 2 lbf/in.? The net power output of the cycle is 200 MW. Cooling water experiences a temperature increase from 60F to 76F, with negligible pressure drop, as it passes through the condenser. 1. Determine the mass flow rate of steam, in lb/h. 2. Determine the rate of heat transfer, in Btu/h, to the working fluid passing through the steam generator. 3. Determine the thermal efficiency of the cycle. 4. Determine the mass flow rate of cooling water, in lb/h
