3. A steam power plant operates on ideal rankine cycle. The steam enters the
turbine at 3Mpa, 350oC and is condensed in the condenser at a pressure of
5kPa. Determine thermal efficiency, back work ratio and work ratio of the
cycle.

kPa, 210oC to 100 kPa. Neglect inlet velocity of steam. For a nozzle efficiency
of 0.9, determine the exit area of the nozzle.
3. The steam is supplied to a nozzle at 15 bar, 350 oC and exits at 1 bar. If the
divergent portion of the nozzle is 80mm long and throat diameter is 6mm,
determine the cone angle of the divergent portion. Assume 12% of the total
enthalpy drop is lost in friction. Calculate velocity and temperature of steam
