Q$1.$ Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle with reheat. Steam enters the first$-$stage turbine at

$1400$ psi and $1000$ F $,$ expands to a pressure of $350$ psi $,$ and is reheated to $900$ F before entering the second$-$

stage turbine. The condenser pressure is $2$ psi $.$ Assume the high$-$pressure turbine is $95\%$ efficient while the low$-$

pressure turbine is $85\%$ efficient. The net power output of the cycle is $1{10}^{9}Bt\frac{u}{h}.$ Determine for the cycle $($a$)$

the mass flow rate of steam, in $l\frac{b}{h}.($b$)$ the rate of heat transfer, in Btu$/$h$,$ to the working fluid passing through

the steam generator. $($c$)$ the thermal efficiency. $(30$ marks $)$
