Calculate thermal efficiency of the cycle and net work


Discuss the below in detail:

Q: Consider an ideal steam regenerative cycle in which steam enters the turbine at 3.5 MPa, 400°C, and exhausts to the condenser at 10 kPa. Steam is extracted from the turbine at 0.8 MPa for an open feedwater heater. The feedwater leaves the heater as saturated liquid. The appropriate pumps are used for the water leaving the condenser and the feedwater heater. Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle and the net work per kilogram of steam.
