Below is a schematic diagram of a simple steam power plant.Steam is heated inside an isobaric boiler and enters the turbine at 1 MPa and 300⁰C. It exits the turbine at 500 kPa, saturated vapor. The steam is then cooled down to saturated liquid at 500 kPa by cooling water flowing in at 35 ⁰C and out at 85 ⁰C of the condenser. The needed power of the pump is 11.071 MW. The steam is pumped into a throttling device back to the boiler.The mass flow rate of steam circulating the condenser is 100 kg/s. Determine the following: a. Turbine work in MW
