8.6 wp water is the working fluid in an ideal rankine cycle. steam enters the turbine at 1400 lbf/in.2 and 1000°f. the condenser pressure is 2 lbf/in.2 the net power output of the cycle is 1 × 109 btu/h. cooling water experiences a temperature increase from 60°f to 76°f, with negligible pressure drop, as it passes through the condenser.

determine for the cycle

a. the mass flow rate of steam, in lb/h.
b. the rate of heat transfer, in btu/h, to the working fluid passing through the steam generator.
c. the thermal efficiency.
d. the mass flow rate of cooling water, in lb/h.
