The figure below shows a vapor power cycle that provides process heat and produces power. The steam generator produces vapor at 500 lbf/in.2, 800°F, at a rate of 8 x 104 lb/h. Fifty-two percent of the steam expands through the turbine to 10 lbf/in.2 and the remainder is directed to the heat exchanger. Saturated liquid exits the heat exchanger at 500 lbf/in.2 and passes through a trap before entering the condenser at 10 lbf/in.2Saturated liquid exits the condenser at 10 lbf/in.2 and is pumped to 500 lbf/in.2 before entering the steam generator. The turbine and pump have isentropic efficiencies of 85% and 89%, respectively. For the process heat exchanger, assume the temperature at which heat transfer occurs is 465°F.

On my online homework, it says the answer for part b, 993.2 kW and part c, 360.06 are incorrect. I also need help with part d. The figure below provides steady-state operating data for a cogeneration cycle that generates electricity and provides heat for campus buildings. Steam at 1.5 MPa, 280°C, enters a two-stage turbine with a mass flow rate of m1 = 2 kg/s. A fraction of the total flow, y = 0.15, is extracted between the two stages at 0.2 MPa to provide for building heating, and the remainder expands through the second stage to the condenser pressure of 0.1 bar. Condensate returns from the campus buildings at 0.1 MPa, 60°C and passes through a trap into the condenser, where it is reunited with the main feedwater flow. Saturated liquid leaves the condenser at 0.1 bar.
