Steam is generated in the boiler of a cogeneration plant at 600 psia and 650°F at a rate of 32 lbm/s. The plant is to produce power while meeting the process steam requirements for a certain industrial application. One-third of the steam leaving the boiler is throttled to a pressure of 120 psia and is routed to the process heater. The rest of the steam is expanded in an isentropic turbine to a pressure of 120 psia and is also routed to the process heater. Steam leaves the process heater at 240°F. Neglecting the pump work, determine

(a) the net power produced,

(b) the rate of process heat supply, and
