    The document provides information to calculate the Carnot and Rankine cycle efficiencies for a steam power plant. The boiler operates at 35 bar and 242.5°C, while the condenser operates at 0.2 bar and 60.1°C. The Carnot efficiency is calculated to be 35.38%. For the Rankine cycle, the dryness fraction at the turbine exit is 0.74763318 and the efficiency including pump work is 30.7289846% while neglecting pump work is 30.867748%.
