What are the disadvantages of a Regenerative Rankine Cycle?
Water is the working fluid in an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater. Superheated vapor enters the first-stage turbine at 16 MPa, 560°C, and the condenser pressure is 8 kPa. The mass flow rate of steam entering the first-stage turbine is 310 kg/s. Steam expands through the first-stage turbine to 1 MPa where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to an open feedwater heater operating at 1 MPa. The remainder expands through the second-stage turbine to the condenser pressure of 8 kPa. Saturated liquid exits the feedwater heater at 1 MPa. Determine:(a) the net power developed, in kW.(b) the rate of heat transfer to the steam passing through the boiler, in kW.(c) the percent thermal efficiency.(d) the mass flow rate of condenser cooling water, in kg/s, if the cooling water undergoes a temperature increase of 18°C with negligible pressure change in passing through the condenser.

A steam power plant operating on the intermediate steam Rankine cycle produces a net power of 160 MW. Water vapor enters the turbine at a pressure of 15 MPa and a temperature of 600 oC, and the condenser at a pressure of 15 kPa. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 85 percent and the isentropic efficiency of the pumps is 90 percent. In order to heat the feed water, some steam is separated from the turbine at a pressure of 0.6 MPa and sent to the open feedwater heater and exits the heater as a saturated liquid. Accordingly, fill in the blanks below. (Pump 1 inlet will be considered as saturated liquid.) a) The mass flow rate of the steam passing through the boiler is m5= ..... kg/s. b) The mass flow rate of the steam separated from the turbine to heat the feed water is m6= ...... kg/s. c) The heat entering the cycle is Qin = ...... kW. d) The heat released from the cycle is Qout = ...... kW. e) The power produced in the turbine is WTurbine= ...... kW. f) The power consumed in…

A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat Rankine cycle between the pressure limits of 14 MPa and 10 kPa. The mass flow rate of steam through the cycle is 10 kg/s. Steam enters both stages of the turbine at 500°C.
