A steam power plant operating on a simple ideal Rankine cycle maintains the boiler at 6000 kPa, turbine inlet at 600°C, and condenser at 50 kPa. Calculate and Compare the thermal efficiency of this cycle when a) It is operated in such a way that the liquid enters the pump as saturated liquid at the pressure of the pump. condenser. b) It is operated in such a way that the liquid enters the pump 11.3 °C colder than a saturated liquid. at condenser pressure. c) Plot the process from a) on a T-s diagram.
