Steam at 32 MPa, 520◦C leaves the steam generator of an ideal Rankine cycle modified to include three turbine

stages with reheat between the stages. The reheat pressures are 4 and 0.5 MPa, respectively, and steam enters the second-
stage turbine at 440◦C and the third-stage turbine at 360◦C. The condenser pressure is 0.08 bar. Determine for the cycle

a) The net work per unit mass of steam flowing, in kJ/kg.
b) The thermal efficiency.
