Consider a steam power plant operating under a three-stage reheat Rankine cycle, with 99 metric tons per hour of steam initially expanding from 12 MPa and 600 OC. Reheat pressures are 2500 kPa, 800 kPa, and 100 kPa, and steam leaves both the reheaters at 400 OC, with a condenser pressure of 10 kPa. Calculate (a) the plant power output in MW, (b) the plant heat rate in kJ/kWh, (c) the plant steam rate in kg/kWh, and (d) the plant thermal efficiency.
