Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle with regeneration. All steam enters the first turbine stage at 12 MPa, 520 °C and expands to 1 MPa where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to the open feedwater heat exchanger operating at 1 MPa. The remaining steam keeps expanding through the second turbine stage and exits at 6 kPa, then goes through a heat exchange to cool to saturated liquid water. After that, the pump increases the pressure back to 1 MPa. Then it goes to the feedwater heat exchanger. Satureated liquid water leaves the feedwater heat exchanger then pumped back to 12 MPa. Find: (1) Sketch the process on a T-s diagram. (2) Thermal efficiency. (3) Mass flow rate of the total steam if net power output is 330 MW.
