A steam Rankine cycle operates with a condenser temperature of 30°C, and a boiler pressure of 15MPa. The turbine is divided into two stages, a high-pressure turbine, and a low pressure turbine. In between the turbine stages the steam is reheated by the boiler so that the inlet temperature to both turbine stages is the same. The exit pressure of the first turbine stage is 7MPa. The condenser inlet is a saturated vapor and the outlet a saturated liquid. What is the net work of the cycle? What is the thermal efficiency of the cycle?
NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. The gas-turbine cycle of a combined gas–steam power plant has a pressure ratio of 8. Air enters the compressor at 290 K and the turbine at 1400 K. The combustion gases leaving the gas turbine are used to heat the steam at 15 MPa to 450°C in a heat exchanger. The combustion gases leave the heat exchanger at 247°C. Steam expands in a high-pressure turbine to a pressure of 3 MPa and is reheated in the combustion chamber to 500°C before it expands in a low-pressure turbine to 10 kPa. The mass flow rate of steam is 12 kg/s. Assume isentropic efficiencies of 100 percent for the pump, 85 percent for the compressor, and 90 percent for the gas and steam turbines. A.) Determine the mass flow rate of air in the gas-turbine cycle. Use steam tables and the table containing the ideal-gas properties of air.

Compare the thermal efficiency and turbine-exit quality (temperature if superheated) at the condenser pressure for a simple Rankine cycle and the reheat cycle when the boiler pressure is 5 MPa, the boiler exit temperature is 500°C, and the condenser pressure is 20 kPa. The reheat takes place at 0.5 MPa and the steam leaves the reheater at 500°C. (Enthalpies are in KJ/kg.)
