Consider a cogeneration steam power plant that operates on a reheat Rankine cycle as shown in Figure 1. Meanwhile Figure 2 shows the T – s diagram of the plant. The plant is able to produce turbines power output of 8500 kW and supplies 3000 kW of process heat. Two units of turbines have been used in the plant namely high-pressure and low-pressure turbines. Superheated steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 8 MPa, 400 °C and the low-pressure turbine at 1.4 MPa, 400 °C of pressure and temperature, respectively. The steam is extracted at the end of the high pressure turbine to be used in process heater and leaves the process heater as saturated liquid then enters the mixing chamber. The remaining of steam from the high-pressure turbine is reheated to 400 °C and the steam leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid of 10 kPa. The isentropic efficiency of the turbines and pump are neglected in analyzing the system
