Question Interpretation: Please note that during the final assessment period you cannot contact your instructors for clarification on how to interpret the wording of any specific questions or to verify that your answer is correct. Interpreting wording and making appropriate assumptions is part of what is being assessed. You will need to interpret the question yourself and check your own answers. If you believe there is a typo, first re-read the question to check you have not misunderstood the question, as it is very common for students to misread questions. If you still believe there is a typo, please phone the Contact Centre.

Steam leaves the boiler at 1.6 MPa and 400°C and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 100 kPa. It enters the pump as saturated liquid. The proposal is to use an intermediate pressure Preheat of 0.8 MPa and to have the fluid entering the secondary turbine at 400°C. Assume all the processes in the turbines and the pump are isentropic. Neglect pressure losses in the tubes and the heat exchangers. a) Determine the thermal efficiency of the original simple Rankine cycle.
