I don't know how to do this engineering problem. Need help! This is the complete problem. PLEASE DO NOT REJECT. I had other experts on bartleby help me with problems similar to this one. A regenerative vapor power cycle with two feedwater heaters, a closed one and an open one is shown in Figure 1. Steam enters the first turbine at 14 MPa, 520°C, and expands to 1.0 MPa. Some steam is extracted at 1.0 MPa and fed to the closed feedwater heater. The remainder expands through the second-stage turbine to 300 kPa, where an additional amount is extracted and fed into the open feedwater heater operating at 0.3 MPa. The steam, expanding through the third-stage, exits at the condenser pressure of 10 kPa. The two outputs from the feedwater both leave at 210°C. Assume the 12 MPa liquid in State 9 has an enthalpy approximately equal to saturated water at 210°C. The condensate exiting as saturated liquid at 1.0 MPa is trapped into the open feedwater heater and throttled into the open heater. Saturated liquid at 300 kPa leaves the open feedwater heater. Assume all pumps and turbine stages operate isentropically. Determine for the enthalpy of the fluid for each of the 11 states in Figure 1.

![### Regenerative Cycle with Two Feedwater Heaters
The diagram illustrates a regenerative cycle with two feedwater heaters. The system comprises several key components, namely a steam generator, a series of turbines, closed and open feedwater heaters, a condenser, and pumps.
#### Detailed Description:
1. **Steam Generator:**
- Steam is generated with a mass flow rate of \(\dot{m}_1 = 75 \, \text{kg/s}\), temperature \(T_1 = 520^\circ \text{C}\), and pressure \(p_1 = 14 \, \text{MPa}\).
2. **Turbines:**
- The high-pressure steam enters a series of turbines, where work (\(\dot{W}_t\)) is extracted as the steam expands through the stages (labeled 2 and 3).
3. **Condenser:**
- After passing through the turbines, the steam is directed into a condenser operating at 10 kPa, where it condenses into a saturated liquid state at point 5.
4. **Pump 1:**
- The condensate is then pressurized by Pump 1 to the open heater (0.3 MPa) labeled as state 6.
5. **Open Heater:**
- The open heater operates at 0.3 MPa. The saturated liquid leaves at state 7 and enters Pump 2.
6. **Pump 2:**
- Pressurizes the liquid to a higher pressure of 1.0 MPa, where it enters the closed heater at state 8.
7. **Closed Heater:**
- Operates at 1.0 MPa, further heating the liquid.
- Steam entering the closed heater is extracted at point 9 with \(T_9 = 170^\circ \text{C}\) and \(p_9 = 14 \, \text{MPa}\).
8. **Trap:**
- Unused condensate from the closed heater is directed towards a trap before rejoining the cycle at state 10.
9. **Cycle Continuation:**
- The heated, high-pressure liquid then returns to the steam generator to complete the cycle.
#### Note:
This regenerative cycle's primary advantage is improved thermal efficiency by preheating the feedwater using extracted steam from various turbine stages. The preheating reduces the thermal load on](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F988321fe-2fa3-453d-a72b-be5ece348fb5%2F905bc818-ac92-46b4-bf99-97456f04ac81%2F0tuc4l_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
