An ideal reheat Rankine cycle uses water as the working fluid. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 10 MPa and 500 °C and expands to 2.5 MPa.  It is then reheated to 500 °C and expands again in the low-pressure turbine to the condenser pressure of 10 kPa. Determine the following:

a)The thermal efficiency 

b.)The ideal pump work

c.) The quality of steam leaving the low-pressure turbine

d.) The total heat added to the working fluid, in kJ/kg

e.) The heat removed from the working fluid in the condenser
