Calculate the power required to operate the pump


An ideal Rankin cycle uses water as a working fluid, which circulates at a rate of 80kg/s. The boiler pressure is 6 MPa, and the condensor pressure is 10 kPa. The water enters the turbine at 600C abd leaves the condensor as a saturated liquid. Assume that heat is transfered to the working fluid in the boiler from a reservoir at 1400K and that the fluid ib the condensor rejects heat to the surroundings at 25C. Calculate the following quantities:

A)The power required to operate the pump

B)The heat-input rate to the water in the boiler

C)The power developed by the turbine

D)the heat-rejection rate in the condensor

E)The thermal efficiency of the cycle

F)The irreversibility associated with each process and the total cycle.
