Problem 2(25 points)
Consider an ideal reheat Rankine cycle that produces a net work of 200 MW. This cycle uses one high-pressure turbine and one low-pressure turbine. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 550 C and \(10,000\mathrm{kPa}\). It leaves the high-pressure turbine at \(1,000\mathrm{kPa}\), is reheated to 500 C , and is then routed to the low-pressure turbine. The steam leaves the lowpressure turbine at 20 kPa . Saturated liquid exits the condenser. The pump, low-pressure turbine, and high-pressure turbine are all isentropic. Do the following:
a) Draw a physical schematic of this reheat Rankine cycle and label the properties, heats, and works on the schematic.
b) Draw this cycle on a T-s diagram
c) Determine the mass flow rate of the steam in the cycle in \(\mathrm{kg}/\mathrm{s}\).
d) Determine the cycle efficiency.
