Question: Problem 2 : Consider a steam power plant operating on th cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam enters the turbine at 1 5 MPa

Problem 2: Consider a steam power plant operating on th cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam enters the turbine at 15 MPa and 650C and is condensed in the condenser at a pressure of 12 kPa . Some of the steam leaves the turbine at a pressure of 0.9 MPa and enters the open feedwater heater. Neglect the work of both pumps.
