Q.5 A thermal steam power plant operating on ideal Rankine cycle, superheated
steam produced at 5 MPa and 500oC is feed to turbine where it expands to
condenser pressure of 10 KPa. If the net power output of the plant is to be 20
MW, determine:

b) Thermal efficiency of cycle
c) Mass flow rate of steam in kg/s,
d) Mass of cooling water in the condenser if the cooling water enters the
condenser at 25oC and leaves at 35oC.
Q.6 A steam power station uses following cycle:
Steam boiler outlet – 150 bar , 550oC. Reheat at 40 bar to 550oC and
condenser pressure- 0.1 bar.
