A Rankine cycle using superheat and reheat applications. Steam enters the stage 1 turbine at 8 MPa and a temperature of 480°C and expands at a pressure of 0.7 MPa. The steam is then reheated to a temperature of 440°C before entering the stage 2 turbine, where the steam expands in the condenser at a pressure of 0.008 MPa. The net power generated is 100 MW. Calculate : A) the thermal efficiency of the cycle, B) the mass flow rate of the steam, C) the rate of heat transferred from the condenser to the surroundings (Qout)
