content of the steam at the exit of the low-pressure turbine is not to exceed 10%, determine:
The pressure at which steam should be reheated,
P =
MPa
The amount of heat added, and heat rejected,
Qa =
kJ/kg
Qr =
kJ/kg
The turbine work and pump work, and
Wt =
KJ/kg
Wp =
kJ/kg
The thermal efficiency of the cycle
e =
