Find rate of heat transfer to working fluid passing by steam


Steam at 4800 lbf/in^2, 1000 F enters the first stage of asupercritical reheat cycle including two turbine stages. The steamexiting the first stage turbine at 600 lbf/in^2 is reheated atconstant pressure to 1000 F. Each turbine stage and the pump has anisentropic efficiency of 85%. The condenser pressure is 1 lb/in^2.If the net power output of the cycle is 100 MW, determine

a) the rate of heat transfer to the working fluid passing throughthe steam generator, in MW.

b) the rate of heat transfer from the working fluid passing throughthe condenser, in MW.

c) the cycle thermal efficiency.
