a 210 MW steam power plant operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 10 MPa and 500o C and is cooled in the condenser to a pressure of 20 kPa. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to the saturation lines and determine (a) the quality of steam at the turbine exit, (b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle, and (c) the mass flow rate of the steam.
