Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. The superheated vapor enters the turbine at 8 MPa, 480°C. The condenser pressure is 8 kPa. The net power output of the cycle is 100 MW. Determine for the cycle (a) the rate of heat transfer to the working fluid passing through the steam generator, in kW. (b) the thermal efficiency. (c) the mass flow rate of condenser cooling water, in kg/h, if the cooling water enters the condenser at 15°C and exits at 35°C with negligible pressure change. Provide a schematic diagram and T/S diagram. Note: please provide a concise working solution with complete reasonings. Thank you so much, I will give a like immediately if the request is done.
