In a Reheat Cycle steam enters the turbine @ 40 bar and 400 C. It expands isentropic ally to 6 bar and is reheated at constant pressure to 400 C. This steam expanded isentropic ally to 1 bar and is reheated at constant pressure to 200 C. Finally this steam is expanded isentropic ally in the condenser pressure of 0.1 bar. Determine the thermal efficiency and the capacity of the boiler if 10,000 KW of power output is required.

1. Steam is supplied to a two-stage turbine at 140 bar and 400C. It expands isentropic ally until it is just dry-saturated. Then it is reheated to 350C at constant pressure and expanded in the second-stage turbine to the condenser pressure of 0.2 bar. If the isentropic efficiency of the second stage is 78%. Calculate the specific steam consumption and the thermal efficiency. Determine the pressure in reheater also to solve the whole problem
A steam turbine cycle running on a Rankin cycle between the condenser pressure of 10 kPa and the boiler pressure of 165 bar, the steam enters the high pressure turbine at a temperature of 600 ° C. The average turbine expands to 800 kPa and then enters the boiler again to be reheated to 550 ° C. The steam leaves the boiler to a low pressure turbine, where it expands to the condenser pressure. If the expansion and compression in the turbine and the pump is isotropic, and the addition of heat is constant pressure, find the efficiency of the cycle. Note point # 1 at the exit area of the steam from the boiler
