Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. The pressure and temperature at the turbine inlet are 1200 lbf / in^2 and 1100°F, respectively, and the condenser pressure is 140 lbf/in^2 The mass flow rate of steam entering the turbine is 1.4 x 10^6 lb/h. The cooling water experiences a temperature increase from 60 to 80°F, with negligible pressure drop, as it passes through the condenser. Determine for the cycle:
(a) the net power developed, in Btu/h
(b) the thermal efficiency.
(c) the mass flow rate of cooling water, in lb/h.
