n the Steam Power Plant, superheated steam at 50 bar and 600C was expanded in the turbine down to the condenser pressure of 0.2 bar. If the plant is modified to Rankine Cycle with Reheater, the steam at 50 bar and 600C enters the high-pressure turbine and is expanded to 5 bar. The exhaust steam flows through the reheater where it is heated to 400C at constant pressure. Then the reheated steam is further expanded in the low pressure turbine to the condenser pressure of 0.2 bar. Find the change in net work and the cycle efficien

In the Steam Power Plant, superheated steam at 50 bar and 600C was expanded in the turbine down to the condenser pressure of 0.2 bar. If the plant is modified to Rankine Cycle with Reheater, the steam at 50 bar and 600C enters the high-pressure turbine and is expanded to 5 bar. The exhaust steam flows through the reheater where it is heated to 400C at constant pressure. Then the reheated steam is further expanded in the low pressure turbine to the condenser pressure of 0.2 bar. Find the change in net work and the cycle efficiency.
