There is a regenerative cycle that uses steam as the working fluid. Steam leaves the boiler and enters the turbine at 4 MPa and 400°C. After an expansion to 400 kPa, part of the steam is withdrawn from the turbine in order to heat the feedwater in an open feedwater heater (FWH). The pressure in the heater is 400 kPa, the water that leaves is a saturated liquid at 400 kPa, and the non-extracted steam expands at 10 kPa. Determine the efficiency of the cycle. the representation of the cycle is in the attached image.
Water is the working fluid in a Rankine cycle modified to include one closed feedwater heater and one open feedwater heater. Superheated vapor enters the turbine at 16 MPa, 560 deg C, and the condenser pressure is 8 kPa. The mass flow rate of steam entering the first-stage turbine is 120 kg/s. The closed feedwater heater uses extracted steam at 4 MPa, and the open feedwater heater uses extracted steam at 0.3 MPa. Saturated liquid condensate drains from the closed feedwater heater at 4 MPa and is trapped into the open feedwater heater.
