A thermal power plant operates on a regenerative cycle with a single open feed water heater, as shown in the figure. For the state points shown, the specific enthalpies are: $${h_1} = 2800\,\,kJ/kg$$ and $${h_2} = 200\,\,kJ/kg$$. The bleed to the feed-water heater is $$20\% $$ of the boiler steam generation rate. The specific enthalpy at state $$3$$ is GATE ME 2008 Thermodynamics - Rankine Cycle Question 3 English
