A power plant is analyzed as a simple ideal Rankine cycle, with a boiler operating at 300 oC. Steam leaves the boiler and enters the turbine as a saturated vapor. The condenser operates at 40 oC. Sketch the cycle on a Pv and a Ts diagram and then determine:
a. The pressure in the boiler: P2 = P3
b. The pressure in the condenser: P1 = P4
c. The heat added in the boiler, per kg of steam: q2-3
d. The work done by the turbine, per kg of steam: w3-4
e. The work done by the pump, per kg of steam: w1-2
f. The thermal efficiency of the power plant: h
