What is the difference in net power


Discuss the below in detail:

Q: A 10 kg/s steady supply of saturated-vapor steam at 500 kPa is required for drying a wood pulp slurry in a paper mill. It is decided to supply this steam by cogeneration, that is, the steam supply will be the exhaust from a steam turbine. Water at 20°C, 100 kPa, is pumped to a pressure of 5 MPa and then fed to a steam generator. It may be assumed that the isentropic efficiency of the pump is 75%, and that of the turbine is 85%. What is the steam temperature exiting the steam generator? What is the additional heat transfer rate to the steam generator beyond what would have been required to produce only the desired steam supply? What is the difference in net power?
