Question: Problem - 1 ( Marks: 3 0 + 3 for Cleanliness ) Consider a cogeneration system operating as shown in the figure below. Water steam

Problem-1(Marks: 30+3 for Cleanliness)
Consider a cogeneration system operating as shown in the figure below. Water steam enters the first turbine stage at 6MPa,540C. Between the first and second stages, 45% of the steam is extracted at 500 kPa and diverted to a process heating load of 5108kJh. Condensate exits the process heat exchanger at 450 kPa with specific enthalpy of 589.13kJkg and is mixed with liquid exiting the lower-pressure pump at 450 kPa . The entire flow is then pumped to the steam generator pressure. At the inlet to the steam generator the specific enthalpy is 469.91kJkg. Saturated liquid at 60 kPa leaves the condenser. The turbine stages and the pumps operate with isentropic efficiencies of 82% and 88%, respectively.
Draw the T-s diagram of the cycle.
Determine:
(a) the mass flow rate of steam entering the first turbine stage, in kg/s.
(b) the net power developed by the cycle, in MW.
