Transcribed Image Text:**Steam Power Plant Rankine Cycle Analysis**
*Text:*
A steam power plant operates on a Rankine cycle as shown. If all kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible, the turbine inlet temperature is 573 K. Determine the turbine power output (kJ/kg) of the plant.
*Diagram Description:*
The diagram is a Temperature-Entropy (T-s) graph illustrating a Rankine cycle.
1. The cycle consists of four processes, labeled 1 to 4.
2. **Process 1-2:** Represents an isentropic compression process where the pressure increases to 3 MPa.
3. **Process 2-3:** Isobaric heat addition where the entropy increases, reaching the turbine inlet temperature.
4. **Process 3-4:** Represents isentropic expansion, where the system returns to a lower pressure of 50 kPa.
5. **Process 4-1:** Isobaric heat rejection completing the cycle.
The graph includes a dome shape indicating the phase change region, where liquid and vapor coexist.
