Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. Superheated vapor enters the turbine at 8 MPa, 480 degree Celsius. The condenser pressure is 10 kPa. The cycle is modified to include reheat. In the modified cycle, steam expands through the first-stage turbine to 0.7 MPa and then is reheated to 480 degree Celsius. If the net power output of the modified cycle is 100 MW, determine for the modified cycle (a) the rate of heat transfer to the working fluid passing through the steam generator, in MW, (b) the thermal efficiency, (c) the rate of heat transfer to cooling water passing through the condenser, in MW
