A steam power plant operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle between the pressure
limits of 3 MPa and 50 kPa. The temperature of the steam at the turbine inlet is 300°C,
and the mass flow rate of steam through the cycle is 35 kg/s. Show the cycle on a T-s
diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine (a) the thermal efficiency of the
cycle and (b) the net power output of the power plant.
