Steam is the working fluid in an ideal reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the first-stage turbine at 8.0 MPa, 480oC, and expands to 0.7 MPa. It is then reheated to 440oC before entering the secondstage turbine, where it expands to the condenser pressure of 0.008 MPa. The net power output is 100 MW. Determine
(a) the thermal efficiency of the cycle,
(b) the mass flow rate of steam, in kg/h,
(c) the rate of heat transfer out from the condensing steam as it passes through the condenser, in MW. Discuss the effects of reheat on the vapor power cycle.
