Question

Steam engine with incomplete expansion receives saturated steam at 1.04 Mpa,
expands it to 0.105 Mpa where release occurs. Exhaust is to a condenser at 40C.
The actual engine uses 6070 kg/h of steam; it has a brake engine efficiency of 60%
and a mechanical efficiency of 85%. The electric generator which it drives has an
efficiency of 925. (a) For the ideal engine, find the thermal efficiency and the mep.
For the actual engine, determine (b) the brake work in kW and the brake thermal
efficiency, (c) the indicated work in kW, indicated thermal efficiency and indicated
steam rate, (d) the combined thermal efficiency and the combined steam rate
