Extracted text: 1. A steam power plant operates on the simple ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 3.9 MPa, 450°C and is condensed in the condenser at a temperature of 40°C. If the mass flow rate is 10 kg/s, determine (a) the thermal efficiency of the cycle and (b) the net power output in MW.
