An engine that uses the Rankine cycle to operate. Know that the steam leaves the boiler at 20 bar and 350oC. The turbine efficiency is 75% and the steam outlet pressure is 1 bar. Assume there is no pressure change in the boiler and condenser and that the water leaving the condenser is saturated water. a. Determine working temperature of condenser, find cycle efficiency Carnot operates within the range of boiler and condenser temperatures b. Determine the real efficiency of the Rankine cycle and compare it with the Carnot cycle. Explain the if there is a difference
