In steam cycle, steam at 6 MPa, 650°C enters the turbine and exits at 60°C. Saturated liquid at 60°C enters the pump and is pumped to the steam generator pressure. Saturated vapor of ammonia enters the turbine at 50ºC 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. Determine (a) the mass flow rates of steam and ammonia, (b) the power outputs of the steam and ammonia turbines, (c) the rate of heat addition to the cycle and (d) the thermal efficiency.

A binary vapor power cycle consists of two ideal Rankine cycles with steam and Refrigerant 134a as the working fluids. The mass flow rate of steam is 2 kg/s. In the steam cycle, superheated vapor enters the turbine at 8 MPa, 560°C, and saturated liquid exits the condenser at 50 kPa.

The heat exchanger experiences no stray heat transfer with its surroundings. Superheated Refrigerant 134a leaves the heat exchanger at 600 kPa, 30°C, which enters the Refrigerant 134a turbine.

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. The remainder of the flow expands through the third turbine stage to 0.15 MPa, where a portion of the flow is diverted to an open generator pressure.
