My Question: In the steam power plant of problem #1, the reheater developed a leak and it was decided to run the plant bypassing the reheater at 1 bar. Determine the thermal efficiency and boiler capacity to develop the same power output.Problem#1. In a Reheat Cycle steam enters the turbine @ 40 bar and 400 C. It expands isentropic ally to 6 bar and is reheated at constant pressure to 400 C. This steam expanded isentropic ally to 1bar and is reheated at constant pressure to 200 C. Finally this steam is expanded isentropic ally in the condenser pressure of 0.1 bar. Determine the thermal efficiency and the capacity of the boiler if 10,000 KW of power output is required.
