| Consider a steam power plant that operates on an ideal regenerative rankine cycle. Steam enters turbine at 6 MPa and 450 deg and is condensed in the condenser at 20 kPa. Bleed Steam is extracted from the turbine at 0.4 MPa to heat the boiler feed-water in an open feed-water heater, water leaves the feed water heater as a saturated liquid. Construct a property table giving the pressure, enthalpy and phase for all the state points identified in the cycle and hence determine the thermal efficiency for the power plant
