1. Design a steam power cycle that can achieve a cycle efficiency of at least 40 percent under
conditions that all turbines have isentropic efficiencies of 80 percent and all pumps have
isentropic efficiencies of 65 percent. Prepare an engineering report describing your design.
Your design should include the following,
a. Discussions of various cycles attempted to meet the goal as well as the positive and
negative aspects of your design.
