Solved: An ideal Rankine cycle with reheat uses water as

An ideal Rankine cycle with reheat uses water as the working fluid. As shown in Fig. P8.36, the conditions at the inlet to the first turbine stage are 1600 lbf/in.2 , 12008F and the steam is reheated to temperature T3 between the turbine stages at a pressure of 200 lbf/in.2 For a condenser pressure of 1 lbf/in.2 , plot the cycle thermal efficiency versus reheat temperature and plot the cycle thermal efficiency versus quality of the steam at the second-stage turbine exit for the reheat temperature ranging from 6008F to 12008F.
