A steam Rankine cycle operates with a condenser temperature of 30°C, and a boiler pressure of 15MPa. The turbine is divided into two stages, a high-pressure turbine, and a low pressure turbine. In between the turbine stages the steam is reheated by the boiler so that the inlet temperature to both turbine stages is the same. The exit pressure of the first turbine stage is 7MPa. The condenser inlet is a saturated vapor and the outlet a saturated liquid. What is the net work of the cycle? What is the thermal efficiency of the cycle?
This is an Open feedwater not a closed feedwater thank you

In a steam plant operating according to an ideal Rankine cycle, water vapor enters the turbine at a pressure of 3.0 MPa and a temperature of 600 oC and exits the turbine with a dryness of 100 kPa and 0.8. By removing heat from the condenser to the surrounding environment, the water is provided to be saturated liquid at 100 kPa. In this case, what would be the amount of heat released from the Condenser to the surrounding environment per unit mass?
