In an ideal Rankine cycle with reheat, superheated steam vapor
enters the turbine at 10 MPa and
480 °C, while the condenser pressure is 6 kPa. Steam expands
through the first-stage turbine to
0.7 MPa and then is reheated to 480 °C.
Calculate the total heat addition, net work of the cycle, heat
extraction through condenser,
and thermal efficiency of this ideal Rankine cycle with
reheat
