QUESTION 3
An ideal reheat Rankine cycle with water as the working fluid operates the boiler at
15 MPa, the reheater at 1,200 kPa, and the condenser at 10 kPa. Figure 2 shows the
schematic of the cycle in sequential order. The temperature is 550 °C at the entrance of the
high pressure (High-P) and low pressure (Low-P) turbines. If the mass flow rate through
the cycle is 3 kg/s. For cycle;
High-P
