Steam is the working fluid for an ideal Rankine Cycle. Saturated vapor enters the turbine at 8.0 MPa and saturated liquid exits the condenser at 0.0075 MPa. The net power output of the cycle is 100 MW.
Determine:
(a) η_th
(b) BWR
(c) m ̇_steam in kg/hr
(d) Q ̇_in
(e) Q ̇_out
(f) If the condenser is cooled by a stream of cooling water entering the condenser at 15°C, determine the minimum stream mass flow rate (in kg/hr) which would prevent the cooling water from exceeding 35°C.
