A 330 MW steam power plant operates according to the simple ideal Rankine cycle. The water vapor enters the turbine at a pressure of 10MPa and a temperature of 525 ° C and expands to 15kP of refrigerant pressure. Show the cycle in a T-s diagram including the saturated liquid and saturated vapor curves and a) the degree of dryness of the steam at the turbine outlet b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle c) Calculate the mass flow of the water vapor circulating in the cycle.
