3. In a Rankine cycle, the water enters the turbine at a pressure of L = 15 MPa and M = 525 ° C. Condenser pressure is N = 10 kPa. At the condenser outlet, it is assumed that the water is saturated liquid and the pump inlet pressure is again N = 10 kPa. Since the isentropic efficiency of the pump is Y 80%, the isentropic efficiency of the turbine is Z = 60%,
a-) Calculate the heat given to the loop in the boiler. (10 s)
b-) Calculate the net work of the loop. (10 s)
c-) Find the thermal efficiency of the loop. (10 s)
