Steam ar 40 bar and 400C enters the high pressure turbine of a steam power plant at a rate of 20kg/s and explands to a pressure of 3 bar at which point it is just dry saturated. at this point part of the steam is re heated to 400C and then expands in the low pressure turbine to a condenser pressure of 0.05 bar with an isentropic efficiency of 88%. the remainder passes directly to asingle 'open' feed heater. the water leaving the condenser is raised to the feed heater pressure which it enters at a temp of 50C
1) Draw a schematic diagram of the plant and a corredponding cycle diagram on a temperature-entropy axes
2) neglecting feed pump work inputs, find:
a) the mass flow rates of steam and water entering the feed heater
c) the plants thermal efficiency
