Question

Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 15,000 kPa and 873 K in a 15,000-kW
steam power plant that operates on an ideal reheat Rankine cycle. If the condenser
pressure is at 10 kPa and the moisture content is 10.4% at the exit of the low-pressure
turbine at 4 MPa, determine the cycle thermal efficiency, the specific steam
consumption, and the pump work in kW if the steam is to be reheated to the initial
temperature. Show Ts and PV diagrams
