Steam is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. Saturated vapor enters the turbine at 10 MPa and saturated liquid exits the condenser at a pressure of 0.01MPa. The net power output (W_dotnet) of the cycle is 150 MW. The turbine and the pump both have an isentropic efficiency of 85 %. The boiler receives heat from a source at 1200 ∘C

Question
Steam is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. Saturated vapor enters the turbine at 10 MPa and saturated liquid exits the condenser at a pressure of 0.01MPa. The net power output (W_dotnet) of the cycle is 150 MW. The turbine and the pump both have an isentropic efficiency of 85 %. The boiler receives heat from a source at 1200 ∘C and the condenser rejects heat to a reservoir at 25 ∘C. Assume the atmospheric conditions to be 100 kPa and 25 ∘C. (Figure 1)
Part A. Determine the exergetic efficiency of the cycle.
