(8.3) Steam is supplied to a two-stage turbine at 40 bar and 350°C. It expands in the first turbine until it is just dry saturated, then it is re-heated to 350°C and expanded through the second-stage turbine. The condenser pressure is 0.035 bar. Calculate the work output and the heat supplied per kilogram of steam for the plant, assuming ideal processes and neglecting the feed-pump term. Calculate also the specific steam consumption and the cycle efficiency.

(8.3) Steam is supplied to a two-stage turbine at 40 bar and 350°C. It expands in the first
turbine until it is just dry saturated, then it is re-heated to 350°C and expanded through
the second-stage turbine. The condenser pressure is 0.035 bar. Calculate the work output
and the heat supplied per kilogram of steam for the plant, assuming ideal processes and
neglecting the feed-pump term. Calculate also the specific steam consumption and the
cycle efficiency.
