A Rankine cycle (not an ideal cycle) generates steam (H2O,Water) at 100 bars
and 640 oC (state 3) and the turbine-exhaust pressure is 0.08 bar(state 4). The enthalpy value
of the turbine outlet is 2577.0 kJ/kg (state 4). Assuming the stateof the inlet of pump is a
saturated liquid and kinetic and potential energy changes arenegligible, a pump operates
isentropically and it has a steady state mass flow rate of 23,740kg/h through it. Determine
a. The temperature of the inlet pump (state 1), in oC,
b. The enthalpy of the inlet pump (state 1), in kJ/kg,
c. The entropy of the inlet pump (state 1), in kJ/(kg*K),
d. The entropy of the inlet boiler (state 2), kJ/(kg*K),
e. The enthalpy of the inlet boiler (state 2), kJ/kg,
f. The temperature of the inlet boiler (state 2), oC,
g. The enthalpy of the inlet turbine (state 3), kJ/kg,
h. The entropy of the inlet turbine (state 3), kJ/(kg*K),
i. The entropy of the inlet condenser (state 4), kJ/(kg*K),
j. The temperature of the inlet condenser (state 4), oC,
k. The adiabatic efficiency of the turbine, in percent, %
l. The power input into the pump, MW,
m. The rate of heat transfer into the working fluid as it passesthrough the boiler, MW,
n. The power output by the turbine, MW,
o. The rate of heat transfer into the working fluid as it passesthrough the condenser, MW,
p. The thermal efficiency, %
