2.) A power plant operating on a Rankine cycle has steam entering the turbine at 500 °C and 2 MPa. The turbine and pump efficiencies are 85 and 90 percent, respectively. If the water enters the pump at 10 kPa at a rate of 162,000 kg/hr, calculate the (a) actual turbine power, (b) actual pump power, (c) actual heat added to the water in the boiler, (d) actual cycle thermal efficiency, and (e) actual condition of steam leaving the turbine.

2.) A power plant operating on a Rankine
cycle has steam entering the turbine at 500 °C
and 2 MPa. The turbine and pump efficiencies
are 85 and 90 percent, respectively. If the
water enters the pump at 10 kPa at a rate of
162,000 kg/hr, calculate the (a) actual turbine
power, (b) actual pump power, (c) actual heat
added to the water in the boiler, (d) actual
cycle thermal efficiency, and (e) actual
condition of steam leaving the turbine.
