In a steam power plant that uses reheat cycle steam at 15.5 MPa, 545 °C enters the engine and expands to 1.95 MPa. At this point, the steam is withdrawn and passes through a reheater. It reenters the engine at 535 °C. Expansions now Occur to the condenser pressure of 0.0035 MPa. Find the QA, Wnet, and cycle and engine efficiency in %.
