Water is the working fluid in a regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam enters the turbine at 1400 lbf/in.2 and 10008F and expands to 120 lbf/in.2, where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to the open feedwater heater operating at 120 lbf/in.2 The remaining steam expands through the second-stage turbine to the condenser pressure of 2 lbf/in.2 Each turbine stage and both pumps have isentropic efficiencies of 85%. Flow through the condenser, open feedwater heater, and steam generator is at constant pressure. Saturated liquid exits the open feedwater heater at 120 lbf/in.2 The net power output of the cycle is 1 3 109 Btu/h.

Determine for the cycle

(a) the mass flow rate of steam entering the first stage of the turbine, in lb/h.

(b) the rate of heat transfer, in Btu/h, to the working fluid passing through the steam generator.
