Steam enters the turbine of a Rankine cycle at 16 MPa, 560°C. The condenser pressure is 8 kPa. The turbine and pump each have isentropic efficiencies of 85%, and the mass flow rate of steam entering the turbine is 120 kg/s. Determine the net power developed, in kW. the rate of heat transfer to the steam passing through the boiler, in kW. the thermal efficiency.
