In a non-ideal Rankine cycle saturated vapor (x=1) enters the turbine at 8.0 MPa and saturated liquid water (x=0) exits the condenser at a pressure of Pexit. Pexit = 0.006 MPa. The net power output of the cycle is given as 100 MW. Knowing that the isentropic efficiency of the pump is 0.85 generate the following plots in Excel or in similar programs for the given range of the isentropic efficiency of the turbine. (Please submit your Excel sheet or your computer program with the homework.)

a) Isentropic efficiency of the turbine 0.7 < ?T < 0.9 vs. steam mass flow rate

b) Isentropic efficiency of the turbine 0.7 < ?T < 0.9 vs. Rate of heat transfer from the boiler to the compressed water at the outlet of the pump

c) Isentropic efficiency of the turbine 0.7 < ?T < 0.9 vs. thermal efficiency of the cycle
