A steam power plant operates on a Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 45 MW. Steam
enters the turbine at 7 MPa and 450 °C and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kPa by
running cooling water from a lake through the tubes of the condenser at a rate of 2000 kg/s. Due to
irreversibility in the turbine, the steam quality at the outlet of the turbine is 85 percent.
