Thespecifications of the new steam generator are as follow: maximumpressure is 15MPa, minimum pressure is 10kPa Temperature enteringthe turbine is 500°C. Isentropic efficiency of the pump is 85%

Taichung thermal power station wants the new steam generator tohave vapor content of the steam to exceed 90% and the steam massflow rate is 12kg/s. Evaluate: i. the pressure at which the reheatcycles takes place (12 marks, C5) H. the total rate of heat in theboiler (4 marks, C5) Hi.
