In a steam power plant that operates based on a Rankine cycle, the operating pressures of the steam generator and the condenser are 10,000 and 10 kPa, respectively. If the turbine inlet stream is saturated vapor and the condenser outlet flow is saturated liquid, determine the specific heat transfers in the steam generator and the condenser, the specific work involved in the turbine and the pump, and the thermal efficiency and the BWR of the cycle. Also, if the power plant produces 250 MW power, determine the mass flow rate of the cycle’s working fluid.
