A steam plant operates on a Rankine cycle. The following conditions are given: The steam exits the boiler at 550C and 15MPa. The heat supplied to the boiler is at 1000C. The condenser pressure is 8kPa. The flow exits the condenser with 4C of subcooling. The turbine is 85% efficient and the pump is 76% efficient. Perform a complete first law analysis of the cycle, and find the first law efficiency of the cycle. Draw a diagram of the plant and show the energy balance at each component. Please show each step
