Extracted text: A medium size power station is used to produce 30 MW net power for a refinery. The station uses steam as the operating fluid and operates according to the Carnot cycle between the pressure limits of 0.4 bar and 35 bar. Steam enters the boiler as a saturated liquid and leaves it as a dry saturated vapour. ist t Reneric o "nd h Ts diaar ntion of s) (ii) Determine the dryness fraction of the steam that is fed to the condenser.
