In a solar operated steam power plant, water is converted into steam via solar heat. If the effective area of solar plate is 200m^2, value of solar constant is 1.362KW per m^2, efficiency of solar components is 17% and overall thermal efficiency of steam cycle desired is 12%. Find the turbine power output ?
A. 45KW
B. 22.46KW
C. 5.55KW
D. 16.54KW
