Find rate of heat transfer to steam passing through boiler


Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cylce. Saturated vapors enters the turbine at 16MPa, and the condensor pressure is 8kPa. The mass flow rate of the steam entering the turbine is 120kg/s. Determine,

A) the net power developed, in kW

B) the rate of heat transfer to the steam passing through the boiler, in kW

C) the thermal efficiency

D) the mass flow rate of condensor cooling water, in kg/s, if the cooling water undergoes a temperature increase of 18C with negligible pressure change in passing through the condensor.
