In a cogeneration system, a Rankine cycle operates with steam entering the turbine at 800 lbf/in.², 700°F, and a condenser pressure of
180 lb-/in.² The isentropic turbine efficiency is 60%. Energy rejected by the condensing steam is transferred to a separate process
stream of water entering at 250°F, 140 lbf/in.² and exiting as saturated vapor at 140 lb/in.²2 The mass flow rate of the process stream
is 49,000 lb/h. Let To = 70°F, po = 14.7 lb/in.²
