Question 106
XE-ENAT2 marksNeeds review
A steam power plant operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle. The condenser pressure is 10 kPa and the boiler pressure is 5 MPa. The steam enters the turbine at 600 °C. Mass flow rate of the steam is 50 kg/s. Neglecting the pump work, the net power output of the plant is ______ MW (rounded off to one decimal place).
