8.9 In a regenerative steam cy cle employing three closed feed heaters the steam is supplied to the turbine at 42 bar and 500°C and is exhausted to the condenser at 0.035 bar. The bleed steam for feed heating is taken at pressures of 15, 4, and 0.5 bar. Assuming idcal processes and neglecting pump work, calculate: (i) the fraction of the boiler steam bled at each stage; (ii) the power output of the plant per unit mass flow rate of boiler steam; (iii) the cycle efficiency.

8.9 In a regenerative steam cy cle employing three closed feed heaters the steam is supplied
to the turbine at 42 bar and 500 °C and is exhausted to the condenser at 0.035 bar. The
bleed steam for fecd heating is taken at pressures of 15, 4, and 0.5 bar. Assuming ideal
processes and neglecting pump work, calculate:
(i) the fraction of the boiler steam bled at each stage;
(ii) the power output of the plant per unit mass flow rate of boiler steam;
(iii) the cycle efficiency.
