A Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) produces saturated steam at 1,000 psia. The steam passes through a turbine and is exhausted at 1 psia. The steam is condensed to a subcooling of 3o F and then pumped back to the reactor pressure. Compute the following parameters:a. Net work done per pound of fluid.Wnet=(h1-h2)-WpumpWnet=(1192.9-776)-2.96=413.94 BTU/lbmb. Heat rejected per pound of fluid.Qr=(h2-h3)Qr=776-66.73=709.27 BTU/lbmc. Heat added by the reactor per pound of fluid.Qa=(h1-h3)Qa=1192.9-66.73 = 1126.17 BTU/lbmd. The turbine heat rate defined as: [(Heat rejected +Net turbine work)/Net turbine work] in units of [BTU/(kW.hr)](709.27 + 413.94)/413.94 = 2.71 * 3412 BTU/1 kW.hr = 9258.33 BTU/kW.hre. Overall Thermal efficiency.Overall Thermal efficiency = (Qa-Qr)/Qa = (1126.17-709.27)/1126.17 =
