The isentropic efficiency of the turbine in a steam power plant is 80%. The power output of the turbine is 30 MW. Steam exits the boiler and enters the turbine at 8 MPa and 500o C and exits the turbine to the condenser at 20 kPa. Steam exits the condenser as saturated liquid and is pumped back to the boiler employing a water pump. Assume State 1 to be the state of water entering the pump and State 2 to be the state of water leaving the pump and compute the following: (a) the steam mass flow rate through the turbine, (b) the condenser heat rejection rate, (c) the power consumed by the pump, (d) the enthalpy of the state of water leaving the pump, (e) the cycle thermal efficiency, and (f) the rate of entropy generation in the condenser if the ambient temperature is 10o C. Assume that the pumping process in the pump is isentropic.

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.
