= 3.03 kJ/kg

h2 = 384 + 3.03 = 387.03 kJ/kg

h3(3000kPa, T=350C) = 3117 kJ/kg

s3 = 6.744 kJ/kgK
s3 = s4 (isentropic turbine)
s4 = sf4 +sfg4
6.744 = 1.213 + x (6.243)
x = 0.886 (3dps)
h4 = hf4 + x.hfg4
h4 = 384 +(0.886)(2278.275) 2402.55 kJ/kg
qin = h3 – h2 = (3117 - 387.03 ) = 2729.97 kJ/kg
wout = h3 - h4 = (3117- 2402.55) = 714.45 kJ/kg

wnet = wturbine,out – wpump,in = 714.45 – 3.03 = 711.42 kJ/kg

wnet 711.42

Q4
If pump work is neglected h1 = h2 = 384 kJ/kg
qin = h3 – h2 = (3117 - 384) = 2733 kJ/kg
wnet = wturbine,out – wpump,in
wpump,in = 0
wout = 714.45 kJ/kg
wnet 714.45
Thermal Efficiency =  = = =0.2614=26.1%
