Question: S ( c ) _ 1 3 : Steam enters the first turbine stage of a 3 - stage Rankine Cycle at 1 8 MPa

S(c)_13: Steam enters the first turbine stage of a 3-stage Rankine Cycle at 18 MPa and \(700^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and the condenser persusere is 70 kPa . Oee closed feedwater heater operates at 6 MPa and one open feedwater heater operates at 2 MPa followed by reheat at 2 MPa to \(540^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). Condensate from the closed foedwater heater is trapped into the open foodwater heater and the foodwater leaves at 18 MPa with a temperature equal to the saturation temperiture at the eatraction presware. Each turbine stage has an isentropic efficiency of \(92\%\) and each pump has an isentropic efficiency of \(87\%\).
