A power plant operates on a regenerative vapor power cycle with one closed feedwater heater. Steam enters the first turbine stage at 120 bar, 520°C and expands to 10 bar, where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to a closed feedwater heater. Condensate exiting the feedwater heater as saturated liquid at 10 bar passes through a trap into the condenser. The feedwater exits the heater at 120 bar with a temperature of 170°C. The condenser pressure is 0.06 bar. For isentropic processes in each turbine stage and the pump, determine for the cycle (a) the thermal efficiency and (b) the mass flow rate into the first-stage turbine, in kg/h, if the net power developed is 320 MW.

In a reheat-regenerative steam cycle, steam enters the h.p. turbine at 80 bar, 480 °C andexpands to 7 bar. The steam is then reheated to 440 °C before entering the l.p. turbine,where it expands to the condenser pressure of 0.08 bar. Steam extracted from the h.p.turbine at 20 bar is fed to a closed feedwater heater, from which the drain at 205 °C iscascaded to an open feedwater heater through a trap. Steam extracted from the l.p. turbineat 3 bar is also fed into the open feedwater heater, from which the total flow is pumpedinto the steam generator. The net power output of the cycle is 100 MW. Assuming idealprocesses, determine (a) the cycle efficiency, and (b) the rate of steam generation in kg/h.[Ans. (a) 43%, (b) 2.8 × 105 kg/h]
Steam enters the first turbine stage of a vapor power cycle with reheat and regeneration at 32 MPa, 600°C, and expands to 8 MPa. A portion of the flow is diverted to a closed feedwater heater at 8 MPa, and the remainder is reheated to 560°C before entering the second turbine stage. Expansion through the second turbine stage occurs to 1 MPa, where another portion of the flow is diverted to a second closed feedwater heater at 1 MPa.

Steam enters the first turbine stage of a vapor power cycle with reheat and regeneration at 15 MPa, 500 0C, and expands to 2 MPa. A portion of the flow is diverted to a closed feedwater heater at 2 MPa, and the remainder is reheated to 500 0C before entering the second turbine stage. Expansion through the second turbine stage occurs to 1 MPa, where another portion of the flow is diverted to a second closed feedwater heater at 1 MPa.

Steam and ammonia are the working fluids in a binary vapor power cycle consisting of two ideal Rankine cycles. The heat rejected from the steam cycle is provided to the ammonia cycle. In steam cycle, steam at 6 MPa, 650C enters the turbine and exits at 60C. Saturated liquid at 60C enters the pump and is pumped to the steam generator pressure. Saturated vapor of ammonia enters the turbine at 50C and exits at 1 MPa which enters the condenser and condenses to saturated liquid. The saturated liquid is then pumped through the heat exchanger. The power output of the binary cycle is 25 MW.
