Water enters the pump of a real Rankine cycle at 10 psia and 100°F The pump increases the pressure to 1076 psia and has an efficiency of 75%. Friction and heat loss in the pipes to the boiler reduce the pressure and temperature to 985 psia and 95°F at the entrance to the boiler. The boiler heats the water to 915°F while friction in the boiler reduces the pressure to 963 psia....
