Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle if the state


Consider a simple ideal Rankine cycle using water at a supercritical pressure. Such a cycle has a potential advantage of minimizing local temperature differences between the fluids in the steam generator, such as the instance in which the high-temperature energy source is the hot exhaust gas from a gas turbine engine. Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle if the state entering the turbine is 3500 lbf/in.2, 1100 F, and the condenser pressure is 1 lbf/in.2. What is the steam quality at the turbine exit?
