Question: Using EES WHAT IS THE CODE FOR Design Problem to determine the most efficient power plant that produces 5 0 0 MW Design a steam

Using EES WHAT IS THE CODE FOR Design Problem to determine the most efficient power plant that produces 500 MW Design a steam power plant that works as a Regenerative Rankine cycle with 1 open feedwater heater by selecting the extraction pressure to optimize cycle efficiency. The available steam conditions at the inlet of the turbine are 10 MPa and 500C and the condenser pressure is 10 kPa. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 0.89 while it is 0.8 for the pump. assume no pressure drop in the heat exchangers. A T-s diagram for the cycle should be provided along with a table showing the pressure, temperature, enthalpy, entropy and quality (where applicable) of all the states at the optimized point. Mention the required flow rate of the working fluid, rate of heat input, rate of heat rejected as well as cycle efficiency at the design point
