1. A steam Rankine cycle has the following properties: Boiler pressure 10 MPa, superheat
steam temperature 500°C, adiabatic turbine with an 85% efficiency, condenser pressure 5
kPa, pump is adiabatic and reversible. The boiler receives heat from a thermal reservoir at
1800 K (simulating a combustion heat source). The condenser dumps heat to the
environment at 20°C. The plant produces a net power output of 600 MW (a typical value).
(a) Find the values of h and s at each of the points in the cycle. Note that S4/S3.
(b) Find the steam flow in the cycle (kg/s).
(c) Find Qin (MW).
(d) Find the cycle efficiency (Wnet/qin).
