3. Consider a regenerative cycle utilizing steam as the working fluid. Steam leaves the boiler and enters the turbine at 4 MPa, 400°C. After expansion to 400 kPa, some of the steam extracted from the turbine for the purpose of heating the feedwater in an open feedwater heater. The pressure in the feedwater heater is 400 kPa and the water leaving it is saturated liquid at 400 kPa. The steam not extracted expands to 10 kPa. Determine the cycle efficiency, in percent.
