Question 1

The steam is expanded isentropically in steam turbine from 20 bar, 350°C to 0.08 bar and then it condensed to saturated liquid water in condenser. The pump feeds back the water into boiler. Neglect losses in the processes, the cycle efficiency (in percentage) is
 
Given data: At P = 0.08 bar, hfg = 2403.1 kJ/kg, sfg = 7.6361 kJ/kg K, vf = 0.001008 m3/kg
