QUESTION:

Steam is the working fluid in the vapor power cycle with reheat shown in Fig. P8.35 with operational data. The mass flow rate is 2.3 kg/s, and the turbines and pump operate adiabatically. Steam exits both turbine 1 and turbine 2 as saturated vapor. If the reheat pressure is 15 bar, determine the power developed by the cycle, in kW, and the cycle thermal efficiency
