Example: Consider a steam power plant operating on the ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam enters the turbine at 15 MPa and 600°C and is condensed in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kPa. Some steam leaves the turbine at a pressure of 1.2 MPa and enters the open feedwater heater.

Example: Consider a steam power plant operating on the ideal regenerative
Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam enters the turbine at 15
MPa and 600°C and is condensed in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kPa.
Some steam leaves the turbine at a pressure of 1.2 MPa and enters the open
feedwater heater. Determine the fraction of steam extracted from the turbine
and the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
