Question: Q 3 ( 2 5 % ) . In a reheat cycle, steam at a rate of 2 0 k g s leaves the boiler

Q3(25%). In a reheat cycle, steam at a rate of 20kgs leaves the boiler and enters the turbine at
?8MPa,450C. After expansion in the high pressure turbine to 800 kPa , the steam is reheated to
40C and then expanded in the low-pressure turbine to 5 kPa . The High pressure turbine has an
isentropic efficiency of 80% and the low pressure turbine has an isentropic efficiency of 70%.
Determine the net power produced and the cycle efficiency.
