3. Consider a steam power plant that operates on the ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with an open feedwater heater. The plant maintains the turbine inlet at 3000 kPa and 350°C; and operates the condenser at 20 kPa. Steam is extracted at 1000 kPa to serve the open feedwater heater. Calculate the work produced by the turbine, the work consumed by the pump, and the heat supply in the boiler for this cycle per unit of boiler flow rate.
