In a rankine cycle, steam from the boiler is at 6MPa and 500C and the condenser operates at 0.1 MPa. The turbine/turbines are 90% efficient and produce 100MW using a reheat at 1.0MPa back up to 440C.
a) determine the mass flow rate of steam
b)assuming the pump is 70% efficient, what is the Qin (heat in) for this system
c) if condenser is water cooled and the inlet and outlet temps are measured to be 15C and 60C respectively, what is the mass flow rate of the cooling water.
