Physics

The mass flow rate of steam through an ideal Rankine turbine (with an isentropic turbine and an isentropic pump) is 30lbm/s. Thewater and or steam is at a pressure of 1000 psia throughout theboiler and superheater and exits the superheater at a temperatureof 600 F. The condenser is at a pressure of 2 psia, and the waterexits the condenser as a saturated liquid. Calculate thefollowing.

(a) the power output of the turbine

(b) the overall thermal efficiency of the cycle

(c) The Carnot efficiency of the cycle based on the boiler andcondenser temperatures
