10-95 Consider an ideal reheat-regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater. The boiler pressure is 10 MPa, the condenser pressure is 15 kPa, the reheater pressure is 1 MPa, and the feedwater pressure is 0.6 MPa. Steam enters both the high- and low-pressure turbines at 500°C. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine
a) the fraction of steam extracted for regeneration and
b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle
