Sketch coordinated, labeled flow and T-s diagrams for the ideal Rankine cycle.
Tabulate the temperatures, entropies, pressures, enthalpies, and quality or degree of
superheat for each significant state shown on the diagram for a throttle at 1000 psia and
1000F and a condenser at 5 psia. Determine the net work, heat added, thermal
efficiency, heat rate, and heat rejected in the condenser. If the power plant output is
100 megawatts and the condenser cooling-water temperature rise is 15 Rankine
degrees, what is the steam flow rate and cooling-water flow rate? Neglect pump work.
