An ideal steam power plant is designed to operate on the combined reheat and regenerative cycle and to produce a net power output of 10 MW. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 8 MPa, 550°C, and is expanded to 0.6 MPa, at which pressure some of the steam is fed to an open feedwater heater, and the remainder is reheated to 550°C. The reheated steam is then expanded in the low-pressure turbine to 10 kPa. Determine the steam flow rate to the high-pressure turbine and the power required to drive each of the pumps.

An ideal Reheat-Regenerative engine operates with a boiler pressure of 8 MPa and a condenser pressure of 8 kPa. Throttle steam at 8 MPa, 480°C is expanded in the turbine to 2 MPa where it is withdrawn from the turbine and reheated to 460°C. The reheated steam then expands in the turbine to 300 kPa where a portion of the steam is extracted for feedwater heating in an open heater. The remainder of the steam continues its expansion to the condenser pressure of 8 kPa. What is the: turbine Work in kJ/kg? % of mass extracted for feedwater heating? thermal efficiency? energy chargeable against the engine in kJ/kg?
Steam enters the high-pressure turbine of a steam power plant that operates on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle at 800 psia and 900F and leaves as saturated vapor. Steam is then reheated to 800F before it expands to a pressure of 1 psia. Heat is transferred to the steam in the boiler at a rate of 6 * 104 Btu/s. Steam is cooled in the condenser by the cooling water from a nearby river, which enters the condenser at 45F.
