Steam enters the turbine of a simple vapor power plant with a pressure of 12 MPa and a temperature of 600°C and expands adiabatically to condenser pressure, p. Saturated liquid exits the condenser at pressure p. The isentropic efficiency of both the turbine and the pump is 84%. a. For p = 30 kPa, determine the turbine exit quality and the cycle thermal efficiency. b. Plot the quantities of part (a) versus p ranging from 6 kPa to 100 kPa.
