(1.1) Consider a 65 MW steam power plant operating on a regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater operating at 1 MPa. Steam enters the turbine at 16 MPa and 560°C, with a condenser pressure of 8 kPa. Determine the mass flow rate of the steam (kg/h), and the mass of the cooling water (kg/ h), if the temperature rise in the cooling water is 10 °C. (set it to four (4) decimal places for consistency)

(1.1) Consider a 65 MW steam power plant operating on a regenerative Rankine cycle
with one open feedwater heater operating at 1 MPa. Steam enters the turbine at 16
MPa and 560°C, with a condenser pressure of 8 kPa. Determine the mass flow rate
of the steam (kg/h), and the mass of the cooling water (kg/ h), if the temperature
rise in the cooling water is 10 °C. (set it to four (4) decimal places for consistency)
