Show step by step the answer and write clearly
Consider a steam power plant operating on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle.
The steam enters the high-pressure stage turbine at 15 MPa and 600 oC and
the condenser pressure is 10 kPa. If the intermediate pressure is 4 MPa
and the steam enters the low-pressure stage turbine at 600 oC, determine
the following:
(a) Enthalpy at the end of each process
(b) Heat added
(c) Heat rejected
(d) Work of pump and turbines
(e) Thermal efficiency of this cycle.
