Calculate heat rejected in the condenser


The boiler and condenser pressures of a steam plant operating on the ideal Rankine cycle are 30 bar and 0.04 bar respectively. The steam is superheated to 350 C in a super-heater before it is expanded isentropically in the turbine. The steam is condensed to a saturated liquid and then pumped isentropically to the boiler pressure to complete the cycle. Calculate (a) the work output of the turbine (kJ/kg), (b) the feed pump work (kJ/kg), (c) the heat rejected in the condenser (kJ/kg), and (d) the thermal efficiency of the plant. Sketch the cycle on a T-s diagram and an h-s diagram for water.
