10-41 A steam power plant that operates on a reheat Rankine cycle is considered. The condenser pressure, the net power
output, and the thermal efficiency are to be determined.
Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist. 2 Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible.

The pressure at state 6 may be determined by a trial-error approach from the steam tables or by using EES from the above
three equations:
P6 = 9.73 kPa, h6 = 2463.3 kJ/kg,
(b) Then,
