A steam power plant operates with a boiler that is heated from aheat source at 457 °C and produces 450 ton/hr. of steam. The steamleaves the boiler at 425 °C and 4 MPa. The steam reaches a turbineat 375 °C and 3 MPa and leaves it at 50 kPa with 4% liquid water.This mixture is flown into a condenser that rejects the heat into ariver at 17 °C. Water leaves the condenser at 50 kPa and 50 °C andpumped by a pump operating at 10 kJ/kg. The water leaves the pumpat 4 MPa.
