Consider a steam power plant operating on the ideal reheat rankine cycle. Steam enters the high pressure turbine at 15 mpa and 600oc and is condensed in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kpa. If the moisture content of the steam at the exit of the low pressure turbine is not to exceed 10.4%, determine (a) the pressure at which the steam should be reheated and (b) thermal efficiency of the cycle. Assume the steam is reheated to the inlet temperature of the high pressure turbine.

A steam power plant operates on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 8 MPa and 500 oC and leaves at 3 MPa. Steam is then reheated at constant pressure to 500 oC before it expands to 20 kPa in the low-pressure turbine. Determine (a) the turbine work output, in kJ/kg, and (b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle. Also, show the cycle on a T
