Data for Q. 89 and 90 are given below. Solve the problem and choose correct answers. Consider a steam power plant using a reheat cycle as shown. Steam leaves the boiler and enters the turbine at 4 MPa, 350° C (h3 = 3095 kJ/kg). After expansion in the turbine to 400 kPa (h4 = 2609 kJ/kg), the steam is reheated to 350° C (h5 = 3170 kJ/kg), and then expanded in a low pressure turbine 10 kPa (h6 = 2165 kJ/kg). The specific volume of liquid handled by the pump can be assumed to be
89. The thermal efficiency of the plant neglecting pump work is (a) 15.8% (b) 41.1% (c) 48.5% (d) 58.6%
