Ideal regenerative Rankine cycle

In this ideal regenerative Rankine cycle, the steam extracted from the turbine heats the water from the condenser, and the water is pumped to the boiler. Sometimes, this occurs in several stages. The condensate from the feed water heaters is throttled to the next heater at lower pressure. The condensate of the final heater is flashed into the condenser...

Table 4.3a shows the state properties of the ideal regenerative Rankine cycle. Table 4.3b shows the distribution of exergy losses at each process. As seen from this table, the highest exergy loss occurs due to heat transfer in the boiler. 

A steam power plant is using an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 8600 kPa and 773.15 K, and the condenser operates at 30 kPa. The steam is extracted from the turbine at 3 50 kPa to heat the feedwater in an open heater. The water is a saturated liquid after leaving the feedwater heater. The work output of the turbine is 75 MW. Determine the thermal efficiency and the work loss at each unit.
