Calculate the cycle thermal efficiency and moisture content

Question

Problem

1. A power plant produces 25 kg/s steam at 3 MPa, 600^oC in the boiler. It cools the condenser with ocean water, so the condenser exit is at 50^oC. A reheat is done at 500 kPa up to 400^oC followed by expansion in the low-pressure turbine. Find the net power output and the total heat transfer in the boiler.

2. Consider an ideal steam reheat cycle where steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 3.0 MPa, 400^oC and then expands to 0.8 MPa. It is then reheated to 400^oC and expands to 10 kPa in the low-pressure turbine. Calculate the cycle thermal efficiency and the moisture content of the steam leaving the low pressure turbine.

The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
