Consider a 210-MW steam power plant that operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 10 MPa and 500°C and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 7.5 kPa. Determine the quality of the steam at the turbine exit. Use steam tables. The quality of the steam at the turbine exit is 8.64 x 10^-6
