An ideal reheat Rankine Cycle operates between the pressure limits of 10kPa and 8 MPa, with reheat being done at 4MPa. The temperature of steam at the inlets of both turbines is 5000C and the enthalpy of steam is 3185 kJ/kg at the exit of the high pressure turbine and 2247 kJ/kg at the exit of low pressure turbine. The enthalpy of water at the exit from the pump is 191kJ/kg. Use the following table for relevant data.
