A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat Rankine cycle between the pressure limits of 20 MPa and 15 kPa. The mass flow rate of steam through the cycle is 10 kg/s. Steam enters both stages of the turbine at 600°C. If the moisture content of the steam at the exit of the low-pressure turbine is not to exceed 11.6 percent, determine (a) the pressure at which reheating takes place, (b) the total rate of heat input in the boiler, and (c) the thermal efficiency of the cycle. Also, show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines.

Steam at 2000 psia and 1000°F enters the high-pressure turbine of a reheat cycle and is expanded adiabatically and reversibly to 200 psia.
