Consider a steam power plant operating on a simple ideal Rankine cycle in which the steam enters the turbine at 3 MPa and 350C and is condensed in the condenser at 75 kPa. Determine the thermal efficiency of this cycle and sketch an appropriately labeled T-s diagram. Also compare this thermal efficiency to that a Carnot heat engine operating between these same two limits. The change in enthalpy across the pump = work done by the pump: h2-h1= v1(P2– P1)
