Describe for the cycle the mass flow rate of steam


Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 1400 lbf/in^2. The net power output of the cycle is 1 x 10^9 Btu/h. Cooling water experiences a temperature increase from 60 degrees F to 76 degrees F, with negligible pressure drop, as it passes through the condenser. Determine for the cycle a) the mass flow rate of steam, in lb/h. b) the rate of heat transfer, in Btu/h, to the working fluid passing through the steam generator. c) the thermal efficiency d) the mass flow rate of cooling water, in lb/h.
