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.
