For the steam power plant described in Problem 9.13, assume the isentropic efficiencies of the turbine and pump are 85% and 80%, respectively. Find the components' specific work and heat transfers and the cycle efficiency.
Problem 9.13
A steam power plant, as shown in Fig. 9.3 operating in a Rankine cycle, has saturated vapor at 3.0 MPa leaving the boiler. The turbine exhausts to the condenser operating at 10 kPa. Find the specific work and heat transfer in each of the ideal components and the cycle efficiency.
