Solution:
(a) The net power output, Wnet = m (whpt + wlpt wp)
[hpt: high pressure turbine, lpt: low pressure turbine, p: feed pump]
Considering the 1st Law for the turbine processes,
whpt = h3 h4

= 712.5 kJ/kg

s4 = s3

wlpt = h5 h6

= 1012.8 kJ/kg

s6 = s5

Considering the 1st Law for the feed pump process,

wp = h2 h1 = v1 (P2 P1) [ feed pump is a reversible sssf device]
= 8.07 kJ/kg
m = Wnet / (whpt + wlpt wp) = 0.291 kg/s

(b) Pump power output, Wp = mwp

= 2.35 kW

(c) Considering the 1st Law for the cooling process,

mcw Cp,cw T = m (h6 h1)
mcw = 16.6 kg/s
(d) Volume flow rate of steam through connecting pipe
V = m v6
= D2/4 x max velocity
D = 0.233 m
