Problem 2.
Problem 1.
An ideal Rankine Cycle with reheat uses water as the workingfluid with a flow rate of 0.15 kg/s.
At the inlet of the turbine (state 1) the water is a superheatedvapor at 475ºC and 11 MPa.
The pressure at the exit of the first stage of the turbine is 0.9MPa.
The reheat temperature (state 3) isalso  475ºC. Â
The condenser pressure is 8 kPa, and the water exits as a saturatedliquid
Find: (a) The heat addition to the cycle,(b) the consumption rate of U-235 tomaintain the heat addition if this is a nuclear power plant, and(c) the consumption rate of natural gasto maintain the cycle
Problem 2.
Re-do problem 1 using an isentropic efficiency of 80% for bothstages of the turbine and the pump
