Water is the working fluid in an ideal rankine cycle. SUPERHEATED VAPOR enters the turbine at 8 MPa, 480 oC. The consenser pressure is 8 kPa. The net power output of the cycle is 100MW. Determine for the cycle:
a) rate of heat transfer to the working flui passing through the steam generator, in kW.
b) the thermal efficiency
c) the mass flow rate of condenser cooling water in kg/h, if the cooling water enters the condenser at 15 oC and exits at 35oC with negligible pressure change.
