In a steam power plant operating according to the ideal Rankine cycle at 4MPa pressure and 400C It enters and condenses in the condenser at a pressure of 100kPa. Determine the efficiency of the cycle. What would the efficiency be if the steam entered the turbine at 5MPa pressure and condensed at 90kPa pressure.
