Water is the working fluid in a Rankine cycle. Superheated vapor enters the turbine 10MPa, 480 celcius, and the condenser pressure is 6kPa. The turbine and pump have isentropic efficiencies of 80 and 70% respectively.
Determine for the cycle.
1. The rate of heat transfer to the working fluid passing through the steam generator, in kJ/kg of steam flowing
2. Thermal efficiency
3. The rate of heat transfer from the working fluid passing through the condenser to cooling water, in kJ/kg of steam flowing
