You were assigned a unique 9-digit student number (eg 221013889), assume the student number to be your current university student number. Using that number, determine the work output of a Rankine cycle with a boiler pressure of 10 MPa, an enthalpy value of 3217.96 kJ/kg for the condenser pressure, and a steam flow rate of 5 kg/s. Take the enthalpy at the boiler to be the last four digit (in the given example, it becomes 3889) of the student number. Assume an ideal Rankine cycle with no irreversibilities.
