Rankine cycle operates on boiler pressure 15 MPa and condenser pressure of 30 kPa. Superheated steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 450°C. The high-pressure turbine expands the steam and enters the re-heater at 2.5 MPa. The steam is reheated until temperature reaches 450°C before being expanded in low-pressure turbine to condenser pressure of 30 kPa. Assume the isentropic efficiency of the low-pressure and high-pressure turbines are 94% and 89% respectively, and pump is working isentropically. Neglect the change in kinetic energy, potential energy and pressure drops in boiler and condenser. The net power produced by the plant is 10 MW.

As a Mechanical engineer, to prevent building collapse from happen, Based on Engineering statics what factor should you take into account in designing the structure of the mall and if ever this incident(building collapse) happen how would you as an engineer react and solve this issue.

which is the reason why the equation is reached: dU = FcosΘds to describe the work done by a force.

Include descriptive schemes.

Write when the work is positive, negative or null depending on the angle between the force component and the displacement.
