Mechanical Engineering

In an ideal Rankine cycle with reheat, superheated steam vaporenters the turbine at 10 MPa and
480 °C, while the condenser pressure is 6 kPa. Steam expandsthrough the first-stage turbine to
0.7 MPa and then is reheated to 480 °C
a) Calculate the total heat addition, net work of the cycle, heatextraction through condenser,
and thermal efficiency of this ideal Rankine cycle with reheat.[25]
b) Calculate the same quantities assuming that the pump and eachturbine stage have an
isentropic efficiency of 80%. [25]
c) Draw p-v diagrams for these twocycles  

do only part c)
