A simple steam power cycle consists of a boiler, turbine, condenser, and pump as shown in the
sketch above. All the heat removal in the cycle is done by the condenser which transfers the heat
to pipes carrying cooling water. The cooling water has a mass flow rate of 7 kg/sec, and a specific
heat of 4,180 J/kg-°C. The cooling water is supplied at a temperature of 10 °C and exits at 20 °C.
Heat is supplied to the cycle through a steam boiler at a rate, Ċin = 420 kW. Find the following:
a. The rate at which heat is rejected from the cycle to the cooling water, Qout-
b. The net power produced in kilowatts, Wnet-
c. The cycle efficiency, cycle.
