Consider a regenerative vapor power cycle with one open feedwater heater(OFWH). Steam enters the turbine at 8 MPa, 480 oC and expands to 0.70 MPa, where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to the condenser pressure of 0.008 MPa. Saturated liquid exits the OFWH at 0.7 MPa.The isentropic efficiency of each turbine stage is 85% and each pump operates isentropically. If the net power output of the cycle is 100 MW, determine (a) the thermal efficiency (b) mass flowrate of steam
