Problem 2 (In a reheat cycle steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 40 bar and 400C. It expands isentropically to 6 bar and is reheated at constant pressure to 400C. This steam is expanded isentropically in the low pressure turbine to the condenser pressure of 0.1 bar. Calculate the thermal efficiency and steam consumption for 10 MW output.)
