Question

A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat Ran¬kine cycle between the pressure limits of 15 MPa and 10 kPa. The mass flow rate of steam through the cycle is 12 kg/s. Steam enters both stages of the turbine at 525°C. The moisture con¬tent of the steam at the exit of the low-pressure turbine is not to exceed 5 percent.
Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines. determine:
(a) the pressure at which reheating takes place,
(b) the total rate of heat input in the boiler, and
(c) the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
