Determine the reheat pressure


In a steam power plant operating on a reheat Rankine cycle, steam enters the HP turbine at 15 MPa and 620oC and is condensed in the condenser at a pressure of 15 kPa. If the moisture content in the turbine is not to exceed 10%, determine (a) the reheat pressure and (b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle. What-if-scenario: How would the conclusion change if the moisture tolerance of the turbine were increased to 15%?
