Calculate net work output and the heat input in boiler


Dry saturated steam at 30 bar expands to a pressure of 0.04 bar through a turbine whose [isentropic] efficiency is 80%. The steam is then condensed (at constant pressure of .04 bar) until its entropy is equal to that of saturated water at 30 bar. The wet steam is compressed to 30 bar in a compressor whose [isentropic] efficiency is 85%. Finally, the steam receives heat in a boiler at a constant pressure of 30 bar until it is dry saturated. Calculate the net work output [kJ/kg], the heat input in the boiler [kJ/kg] and the thermal efficiency of the cycle. Sketch the cycle on the T-s and h-s diagrams for water.
