a.) What is the thermal efficiency of a steam power plantoperating on the Rankine cycle if saturated steam is supplied tothe turbine at 1000 psia, and the condenser is at 1 psia. Use aturbine efficiency of 95% and a pump efficiency of 85%. Refer toChapter 9, Sections 10-11, as necessary.
b.) Determine the thermal efficiency if the steam is superheated to1000 F, assuming all else equal.
