The properties of this Organic Rankine Cycle are as follows: 
Turbine feed: P = 24.49 bar, T = 272.19C
Turbine exhaust: P = 2 bar, T = 203C. Assume ideal gas at P = 2 bar.

The pump efficiency is 65%.
Benzene is used as the working fluid 

If the boiler heat transferred Qboiler = 53,637 J/mol, what is the thermal efficiency of the cycle?

The Organic Rankine Cycle can be used to generate power from low-temperature energy sources such as solar
or geothermal sources. The Organic Rankine Cycle with benzene as the working fluid is diagrammed here:
