In a reheat-cycle power plant, steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 5MPa and 450°C then expends to 0.5MPA, after which is reheated to 450 C. The steam is then expended through the low-pressure turbine to 7.5kPa. If the total power output of the two turbines is 10MW, determine the mass flow rate of the steam and the thermal efficiency (ignore the pump work). (Sketch the cycle on P-V and T-S diagrams)

Steam enters the high-pressure turbine of a steam power plant that operates on the reheat Rankine cycle at 10 MPa and 550°C and leaves at 4 MPa. Steam is then reheated to 500°C before it expands to a pressure of 40 kPa. The enthalpy of steam is 3190 kJ/kg at the exit of the high-pressure turbine, and 2550 kJ/kg at the exit of the low-pressure turbine. Disregarding the pump work, the cycle efficiency is

Steam generated at a power plant at 8.0 MPa and 600.°C is fed to a turbine. Exhaust from the turbine enters a condenser at 25 kPa where it is condensed to a saturated liquid, which is then pumped to the boiler.

A steam power plant operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle between the pressure limits of3 MPa and 50 kPa. The temperature of the steam at the turbine inlet is 300°C, and the massflow rate of steam through the cycle is 35 kg/s.

A gas-turbine power plant operates on a simple Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid. The air enters the turbine at 120 psia and 2000 R and leaves at 15 psia and 1200 R. Heat is rejected to the surroundings at a rate of 6400 Btu/s, and air flows through the cycle at a rate of 40 lbm/s.

Account for the variation of specific heats with temperature.
A steam power plant operates on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 6 MPa and 400C and leaves at 2 MPa.

Steam at 2000 psia and 1000°F enters the high-pressure turbine of a reheat cycle and is expanded adiabatically and reversibly to 200 psia. The steam is then passed through the superheater, from where it exits at the 950°F temperature. The low-pressure turbine expands the steam reversibly and adiabatically to 1 psia.
