Question

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 $400$ $\text{kJ/kg}$ and in the low-pressure turbine is $850$ $\text{kJ/kg}$, whereas the pump work is $15$ $\text{kJ/kg}$. If the cycle efficiency is $32\%$, the heat rejected in the condenser is _________________ $\text{kJ/kg}$ (round off to $2$ decimal places)
