A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat Rankine cycle between the pressure limits
of 15 MPa and 10 kPa. The mass flow rate of steam through the cycle is 12 kg/s. Steam
enters both stages of the turbine at 500°C. If the moisture content of the steam at the exit
of the low-pressure turbine is not to exceed 10 percent, determine the pressure at which
reheating takes place,
