Q5/ For a steam power plant, the turbine operates isentropically and adiabatically with inlet steam at 6800 kPa and 550 °C and the exhaust steam enters the condenser at 50 °C. Saturated liquid water leaves the condenser, and is pumped to the boiler. Neglecting pump work and kinetic and potential energy changes, determine the thermal efficiency of the cycle?
