A steam power plant operating on the intermediate steam Rankine cycle produces a net power of 160 MW. Water vapor enters the turbine at a pressure of 15 MPa and a temperature of 600 oC, and the condenser at a pressure of 15 kPa. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 85 percent and the isentropic efficiency of the pumps is 90 percent. In order to heat the feed water, some steam is separated from the turbine at a pressure of 0.6 MPa and sent to the open feedwater heater and exits the heater as a saturated liquid. Accordingly, fill in the blanks below. (Pump 1 inlet will be considered as saturated liquid.)
