A turbine is supplied with steam at 30 bar and 450°C. The expansion, in high pressure turbine is carries out to the stage when steam is dry and saturated. The steam is then reheated to super-heated temperature in a reheat er and expanded in low pressure turbine to 0.04 bar. Neglecting feed pump power requirements, calculate: intermediate reheat pressure, dryness fraction of steam as it flows to the condenser, ideal cycle efficiency an steam consumption.
