Find actual rankine thermal efficiency


An actual steam turbine operates in a Rankine cycle with a turbine inlet state of 6000 kPa and 360ºC. The condenser pressure is 10 kPa, and the water exits the condenser as a saturated liquid. The cycle produces 10,000 kW of actual turbine power (not net power), and the steam flow rate is 11 kg/s. The pump has a compression efficiency of 0.70. Assume that the pressure drops through the boiler, condenser, and the pipes are negligible. Find: a) the net actual work, b) the isentropic efficiency of the turbine, c) the ideal Rankine thermal efficiency, d) the actual Rankine thermal efficiency, and e) the relative efficiency.
