A thermal power plant works according to a Rankine Cycle with Regeneration with an open heater. The steam enters the first stage of the turbine at 10 MPa and 650 °C, expanding to 1.4 MPa. Subsequently, part of the steam is extracted and leads to the open heater that operates at 1.4 MPa. The remaining steam expands through the second stage of the turbine to a capacitor pressure of 5 kPa. For isentropic processes in both turbines and pumps, determine the enthalpy values of all points in the cycle, as well as the efficiency of the latter.
