A steam turbine is to operate on a simple regenerative cycle. Steam is
supplied dry saturated at 40 bar, and is exhausted to condenser at 0.07 bar.
The condensate is pumped to pressure of 3.5 bar at which it is mixed with
bleed steam from the turbine at 3.5 bar. The resulting water which is at
saturated temperature is pumped to boiler. For the ideal cycle calculate,

A person without a lower limb or limbs may face huge cost to get prosthetic legs. A metal prosthesis can cost up to RM10,000 depending on the specifications and requirement of the patient. Cane furniture was made by bending the stem in such beautiful shapes that could also hold human weight. The usage of sustainable materials such as cane may help the sustainability of life of a person without a limb by ensuring it is affordable and available to people of all levels as well as helped the sustainability of the environment. However, one question - can you make a leg out of a cane? Discuss.
