In a reheat-cycle power plant steam enters the


In a reheat-cycle power plant, steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 5 MPa, 450°C, and expands to 0.5 MPa, after which it is reheated to 450°C. The steam is then expanded through the low-pressure turbine to 7.5 kPa. Liquid water leaves the condenser at 30°C, is pumped to 5 MPa, and returned to the steam generator. Each turbine is adiabatic, with an isentropic efficiency of 87%, and the pump efficiency is 82%. If the total power output of the turbines is 10,000 kW, determine (a) the mass flow rate of the steam, (b) the pump power input, and (c) the power plant thermal efficiency. Please indicate on a diagram.
