A steam power plant operates on a simple Rankine cycle between the pressure limits of 2 MPa and 20 kPa. The mass flow rate of steam flowing through the cycle is 5 kg/s. The moisture content of the steam at the turbine exit is not to exceed 10 percent. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 90%. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine (a) the minimum turbine inlet temperature, (b) the rate of heat input in the boiler, and (c) the thermal efficiency of the cycle

Question

A steam power plant operates on a simple Rankine cycle 
between the pressure limits of 2 MPa and 20 kPa. The mass flow 
rate of steam flowing through the cycle is 5 kg/s. The moisture 
content of the steam at the turbine exit is not to exceed 10 
percent. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 90%. Show the 
cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and 
determine (a) the minimum turbine inlet temperature, (b) the 
rate of heat input in the boiler, and (c) the thermal efficiency of 
the cycle
