Show cycle on a t-sdiagram with respect to saturation lines


Problem: Steam enters the high-pressure turbine of a steam power plant that operates on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle at 6MPaand 500°Cand leaves as saturated vapor. Steam is then reheated to 450°Cbefore it expands to a pressure of 10kPa. Heat is transferred to the steam in the boiler at a rate of 60000 kW. Steam is cooled in the condenser by the cooling water from a nearby river, which enters the condenser at 8°C. Show the cycle on a T-sdiagram with respect to saturation lines and determine (a) the pressure at which reheating takes place, (b) the net power output and thermal efficiency, and (c) the minimum mass flow rate of the cooling water required.
