power plant based on the Rankine cycle operates with a boiling-water reactor to develop m cycle power of 5.27 MW. Superheated Steam exits the reactor core at 113 bar, and temperature 482 and expands through the turbine to the condenser pressure of 0.59 bar. Saturated liquid exits the condenser and is pumped to the reactor pressure of (One) bar. Isentropic efficiencies of the turbine a pump are 81% and 78%, respectively. Cooling water enters the condenser at 17 °C with a mass flow ra of 160 kg/s. Determine: (a) the thermal efficiency. (b) the temperature of the cooling water exiting the condenser, in "C.
