3.A simple Rankine cycle uses water as the working fluid. The boiler operates at 6000 kPa and the condenser at 50 kPa. At the entrance to the turbine, the temperature is 450°C. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 90 percent, pressure and pump losses are negligible, and the water leaving the condenser is subcooled by 6.3°C. The boiler is sized for a mass flow rate of 20 kg/s. Determine (a) the rate at which heat is added in the boiler, (15 points) (b)the power required to operate the pumps, (15 points) (c) the net power produced by the cycle, and the thermal efficiency

A reheat Rankine cycle operates with water as the working fluid. Steam enters the first turbine at 8 MPa and 450◦C and exits at 0.8 MPa. It is then reheated at 400◦C before entering the second turbine, where it exits at 10 kPa. If the amount of work into the pump is 8.04 kJ/kg and the net work per cycle produced is 1410.5 kJ/kg, determine the thermal efficiency. Assume no pressure losses in the condenser or the boiler.
