For all the computations and the final answer, please set it to four (4) decimal places for consistency. QUESTION 1. Consider a 65 MW steam power plant operating on a regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater operating at 1 MPa. Steam enters the turbine at 16 MPa and 560°C, with a condenser pressure of 8 kPa. Determine mass flow rate of the steam (kg/h), the thermal efficiency (%) of the cycle and the mass of the cooling water (kg/ h), if the temperature rise in the cooling water is 10 °C.
