An ideal Rankine cycle with reheat uses water as the working fluid. The conditions at the inlet to the first-stage turbine are p1 5 2500 lbf/in.2, T1 5 10008F. The steam is reheated at constant pressure p between the turbine stages to 10008F. The condenser pressure is 1 lbf/in.2 (a) If p/p1 5 0.2, determine the cycle thermal efficiency and the steam quality at the exit of the second-stage turbine.
