Mechanical Engineering > GATE 2014 Set-1 > Rankine Cycle
An ideal reheat Rankine cycle operates between the pressure limits of 10 kPa and 8 MPa, with reheat being done at 4 MPa. The temperature of steam at the inlets of both turbines is 500°C and the enthalpy of steam is 3185 kJ/kg at the exit of the high pressure turbine and 2247 kJ/kg at the exit of low pressure turbine. The enthalpy of water at the exit from the pump is 191 kJ/kg. Use the following table for relevant data. 
Disregarding the pump work, the cycle efficiency (in percentage) is _______
Correct : 40 to 42
