Calculate the thermal efficiency and the refrigerant


A power plant based on the Rankine cycle is under development to provide a net power output of 10 MW. Solar collectors are to be used to generate Refrigerant 22 vapor at 1.6MPa, 50 degrees C, for expansion through the turbine. Cooling water is available at 20 degrees C. Specify the preliminary design of the cycle and estimate the thermal efficiency and the refrigerant and cooling water flow rates in kg/h.
