Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 1400 lb/in² and 1200°F. The condenser pressure is 2 Ib-/in.² The net power output of the cycle is 200 MW. Cooling water experiences a temperature increase from 60°F to 76°F, with negligible pressure drop, as it passes through the condenser.
