A steam power plant that operates on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle. The steam plant maintains the boiler at 8 MPa, the reheat section at 1.2 MPa, and the condenser at 20 kPa. The mixture quality at the exit of both turbines is 96 percent. The isentropic efficiencies of turbine and the pump are both 90 percent. Determine the (a) temperature at the inlet of the first turbine, and the cycle's thermal efficiency.
