Question

answer  quickly

A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat Rankine
cycle between the pressure limits of 15 MPa and 10 kPa. The
mass flow rate of steam through the cycle is 12 kg/s. Steam
enters both stages of the turbine at 500°C. If the moisture
content of the steam at the exit of the low-pressure turbine
is not to exceed 10 per cent, show the cycle on a T-s diagram
with respect to saturation lines. Determine,
(a)the pressure at which reheating takes place,
(b)the total rate of heat input in the boiler, and
(c)the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
