Steam is the working fluid in a simple, ideal Rankine cycle. Saturated vapor enters the turbine at 8 MPa and saturated liquid exits the condenser at a pressure of 8 kPa. The net power output of the cycle is 100 MA. Determine for the cycle:

a. Thermal efficiency

b. Back work ratio

c. Mass flow-rate of the steam in kg/h

d. Rate of heat transfer to the working fluid as it passes through the boiler in MW

e. Rate of heat transfer from the working fluid as is passes through the condenser in MW

f. The mass flow rate of the condenser cooling water in kg/h if the cooling water enters the condenser at 15°C and exits at 35°C.
