Determine the turbine work output


A steam power plant operates on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 8 MPa and 500 oC and leaves at 3 MPa. Steam is then reheated at constant pressure to 500 oC before it expands to 20 kPa in the low-pressure turbine. Determine

(a) the turbine work output, in kJ/kg, and

(b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle. Also, show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines.
