Projects 2: Rankine and Carnot cycle in practice Your colleague at the power plant station initiated a mutual discussion, where he suggested applying the Carnot cycle since it is considered the optimal cycle that steam power plant may be operated on. You were in a position to justify him why there many difficulties and impracticalities associated with the Carnot cycle in terms of the steam power plant, deliver a brief report explain why the Rankine cycle is preferred over the Carnot cycle in steam production plants, mention all impracticalities associated with applying Carnot cycle including the limitation of boiler and condenser temperature and pressure with respect to the surrounding saturation conditions (you may construct TS diagrams for both cycles to demonstrate your comparison).
Consider a simple ideal Rankine cycle and an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwaterheater. The two cycles are very much alike, except the feedwater in the regenerative cycle is heated byextracting some steam just before it enters the turbine. Compare the efficiencies of these two cycles.

Question No.15: a) Bring out the difference between the closed cycle and open cycle gas turbine power plants b) . Draw a neat diagram of a regenerative gas turbine and reheater and also explain it working with a help of a p-v diagram.
Q#1. A gas-turbine plant operates on the regenerative Brayton cycle, the schematic diagram of whichis shown in Fig. Q 1, with two stages of reheating and two-stages of intercooling between the pressure limits of100 and1200 kPa . The working fluid is air. The air enters the first and the second stages of the compressor at 300 K and 350 K , respectively, and the first and the second stages of the turbine at 1400 K and 1300 K , respectively. Assuming both the compressor and the turbine have an isentropic efficiency of 80%. The regenerator has an effectiveness ofεregen=75% . Assume variable specific heats (i.e., use the concept of relative pressures) and the intermediate pressuresof intercooling and reheating is the square root of the product of inlet and exit pressures for intercooling and reheating. Make other the necessary assumptions and determine(a) the back work ratio,β , and the net work output,, wnet(b) the thermal efficiency (that is the first-law efficiency,ηi ) and(c) the…
