45. An ideal Rankine cycle with reheat operates the boiler at 3 MPa, the reheater at 1 MPa and the
condenser at 50 KPa. The temperature at the boiler and reheater outlets is 350o C. The boiler and
reheaterare fired with a fuel that releases 9000 kJ/kg of heat as it is burned. What is the mass flowrate
of the fuel for such a cycle when sized to produce 50 MW of network?
