The turbine inlet flow rate is 125 kg/s of saturated steam at 300C for a simple, non-ideal Rankine cycle. The condenser operates at a temperature of 40C. The turbine efficiency is 88% and the feed water pump efficiency is 75%. There is also a pressure drop of 10 bar (from frictional effects) in the line between the feed water pump and the steam generator. This means that the exit pressure of the feed water pump is 10 bar greater than the turbine inlet pressure.

Find:

a) The net cycle power in MW

b) The cycle thermal efficiency
