Steam is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle with superheat and reheat. Steam enters the first-stage turbine at 8.0 MPa, 480°C, and expands to 0.7 MPa. It is then reheated to 440°C before entering the second-stage turbine, where it expands to the condenser pressure of 0.008 MPa. The net power output is 100 MW. Determine (i) the thermal efficiency of the cycle, (ii)the mass flow rate of steam, in kg/h, (iii) the rate of heat transfer from the condensing steam as it passes through the condenser, in MW. *use the steam tables below and in the attached filed and show step by step working 8Mpa T oC V m3/kg h KJ/Kg u KJ/Kg s KJ/(kg.K) 450 0.0382 3273.60 2968.36 6.5576 500 0.0417 3398.36 3064.76 6.7245

Enthalpy at the exit of turbine 1 becomes,
h2 = 697 + 0.989 × 2065.8h2 = 2740.07 kJkg/
where did you obtain 697? and also 2065.8? it supposed to be hf and hfg but it wasnt found in the steam table given
how do you workout the linear interpolation from process 1-2 the step by step working would be helpful and a diagram if necessary
