In a steam power plant based on Rankine cycle, steam is initially expanded in a high-pressure turbine. The steam is then reheated in a reheater and finally expanded in a low-pressure turbine. The expansion work in the high-pressure turbine is 400 kJ/kg and in the low-pressure turbine is 850 kJ/kg, whereas the pump work is 15 kJ/kg. If the cycle efficiency is 32%, the heat rejected in the condenser is ________ kJ/kg (round off to 2 decimal places).

In a steam power plant operating on an ideal Rankine cycle, super-heated steam enters the turbine at $$3$$ $$MPa$$ and $${350^ \circ }C.$$ The condenser pressure is $$75$$ $$kPa.$$ Thermal efficiency of the cycle is ___________ percent.

Given data:

For saturated liquid, at $$P=75$$ $$kPa,$$
$$\eqalign{ & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{h_f} = 384.39\,\,kJ/kg, \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{v_f} = 0.001037\,\,{m^3}/kg, \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{s_f} = 1.213\,\,kJ/kg K \cr} $$

At $$75$$ $$kPa,$$ $${h_{fg}} = 2278.6\,\,kJ/kg,$$
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{s_{fg}} = 6.2434\,\,kJ/kg$$-$$K$$

At $$P=3$$ $$MPa$$ and
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,T = {350^ \circ }C\,\,\,$$ (Superheated steam),
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,h = 3115.3\,\,kJ/kg,$$
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,s = 6.7428\,\,kJ/kg$$-$$K$$
