A steam turbine is to operate on a simple regenerative cycle. Steam is supplied dry saturated at 40 bar and is exhausted to a condenser at 0.08 bar. The condensate is pumped to a pressure of 4.5 bar at which it is mixed bleed steam from the turbine at 3.5 bar. The resulting water which is at saturation temperature is then pumped to the boiler. For the ideal cycle calculate, neglecting feed-pump work. i. The amount of bleed steam required per kilogram of supply ii. The cycle efficiency of the plant iii. The specific steam consumption
