Determine the thermal efficiency of this cycle

Reference no: EM131249814

1. A steam power plant, as shown in Fig. 9.3, operating in a Rankine cycle has saturated vapor at 600 lbf/in.² leaving the boiler. The turbine exhausts to the condenser, operating at 2.23 lbf/in.². Find the specific work and heat transfer in each of the ideal components and the cycle efficiency.

2. Consider a solar-energy-powered ideal Rankine cycle that uses water as the working fluid. Saturated vapor leaves the solar collector at 150 psia, and the condenser pressure is 0.95 psia. Determine the thermal efficiency of this cycle.
