Steam is delivered by a steam generating unit at 1100 psia and 900 °F. After expansion in the turbine to 300 psia, the steam is withdrawn and reheated to the initial temperature. Expansion now occurs to the condenser pressure of 1 psia. For 1 lb/sec of steam in an ideal cycle, find the thermal efficiency.

Q4) Steam generated in a power plant at a pressure of 5500 kPa and a temperature of 420°C is fed to a turbine. Exhaust from the turbine enters a condenser at 20 kPa where it is condensed to saturated liquid, which then pumped to the boiler. Determine the thermal efficiency of a Rankin cycle operating at these conditions.
There is a steam power cycle that uses water as the working fluid, where the condenser pressure is 20 kPa. The pressure in the boiler is 4 MPa.

Hi, I need help with this practice problem for Thermodynamics
Steam is supplied to a two-stage turbine at 40 bar and 350°C. It expands in the first turbine until it is just dry saturated, then it is re-heated to 350°C and expanded through the second-stage turbine. The condenser pressure is 0.035 bar. Calculate the work output and the heat supplied per kilogram of steam for the plant, assuming ideal processes and neglecting the feed-pump term. Calculate also the specific steam consumption and the cycle efficiency
The following is how a reheat turbine works. It takes steam with a pressure of 1560 psi and a temperature of 780 F and expands it to 430 psi. The steam now returns to the boiler to be resuperheated before returning to the turbine at 410 psi and 600 F. The steam then expands to the condenser temperature of 96 F. Calculate the efficiency of the cycle.
