Scenario (1)The first steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the first turbine at 8 MPa and 500 C and leaves at 3 MPa. Steam is then reheated at a constant pressure to 500 C before it expands to 20 kPa in the low-pressure turbine. Assuming that heat is being added to the boiler from a high temperature source at 1800 K and the condenser is transferring heat to a temperature sink at 300 K. Task 1 Investigate the effect of changing turbine efficiency on the overall thermal efficiency of the thermodynamic cycle. (Hint: You will assume different values for the isentropic turbine efficiency such as: 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, and 100%, then observe how it will change the thermal efficiency of the cycle). Representing the results in a plot is recommended.
