Repeat Problem 9.1 but assume now that the turbine isentropic efficiency 95% and the pump isentropic efficiency is 85%. Also compare the steam quality at the turbine exit with the value from Problem 9.1.

Problem 9.1.

Consider an ideal Rankine cycle operating between 5 kPa and 10 MPa and using H₂O as the working fluid. Steam enters the turbine as saturated  at a flow rate of 8 kg/s.

A. Plot the ideal cycle on T–s coordinates.B. Determine the power produced by the turbine.C. Determine the power required to drive the pump.D. Determine the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
