Water is the working fluid in an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with one closed feedwater heater. Superheated vapor enters the turbine at 100Bar,480∘C, and the condenser pressure is 8 kPa. Steam expands through the first-stage turbine where some is extracted and diverted to a closed feedwater heater at 8 Bar. Condensate drains from the feedwater heater as saturated liquid at 8 Bar and is trapped into the condenser. The feedwater leaves the heater at 100 Bar and a temperature equal to the saturation temperature at 7Bar. Determine the thermal efficiency of the cycle
