A steam power plant runs on a reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters both the high and low pressure turbines at 500oC. The maximum and minimum pressures of the cycle are 10 MPa and 10 kPa, respectively. Steam leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid. The moisture content of the steam at the exit of the low-pressure turbine is 4% if the actual expansion process is adiabatic; 8.5% if the ideal expansion process is isentropic. The isentropic efficiencies of the high-pressure...

QUESTION 5 A steam power plant is designed to operate on a reheat Rankine cycle to produce 115 MW of a net power output. Due to metallurgical limitation, the high-pressure turbine is limited to operate at maximum pressure and temperature of 15 MPa and 650°C, respectively. The lowpressure turbine is to operate at maximum pressure and temperature of 3.5 MPa, and 500°C, respectively. Both high and low pressure turbines have maximum isentropic efficiency of 87 percent. The maximum reheat pressure...

Steam power plants are responsible for the production of most electric power in the world. A small increase in thermal efficiency can mean large savings from the fuel requirements. Consider a steam power plant that operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle. Steam is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 75 kPa by running cooling water at 16°C from the nearby river through the tubes of the condenser. To increase the thermal efficiency of the power cycle, a...

A power plant operates on a regenerative vapor power cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam enters the first turbine stage at 12 MPa, 560°C and expands to 1 MPa, where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to the open feedwater heater operating at 1 MPa. The remaining steam expands through the second turbine stage to the condenser pressure of 17 kPa. Saturated liquid exits the open feedwater heater at 1 MPa. The net power output for the...
