Two Rankine Cycle Steam Power Plants are being considered for construction. The design parameters for each plant are as follows: Plant A (High Pressure): 80 bar Steam Pressure at Steam Generator (Boiler) outlet Steam Temperature at Steam Generator (Boiler) outlet Condenser Pressure 400 °C 0.07 bar Plant B (Low Pressure): 40 bar Steam Pressure at Steam Generator (Boiler) outlet Steam Temperature at Steam Generator (Boiler) outlet Condenser Pressure 400 °C 0.07 bar (1) Neglecting all pressure, drops, temperature drops and feed pump work, sketch both cycles on the same T-s diagram and calculate the cycle thermal efficiency of each plant. (ii) Calculate the ratio of the heat rejected by each plant if the turbines are to produce the same output. (iii) Discuss briefly the results of your calculations and the selection of either plant for construction.

Question
Two Rankine Cycle Steam Power Plants are being considered for construction. The design
parameters for each plant are as follows:
Plant A (High Pressure):
Steam Pressure at Steam Generator (Boiler) outlet
80 bar
Steam Temperature at Steam Generator (Boiler) outlet
400 °C
Condenser Pressure
0.07 bar
Plant B (Low Pressure):
Steam Pressure at Steam Generator (Boiler) outlet
40 bar
Steam Temperature at Steam Generator (Boiler) outlet
400 °C
Condenser Pressure
0.07 bar
(1) Neglecting all pressure, drops, temperature drops and feed pump work, sketch both
cycles on the same T-s diagram and calculate the cycle thermal efficiency of each plant.
(ii) Calculate the ratio of the heat rejected by each plant if the turbines are to produce the
same output.
(iii) Discuss briefly the results of your calculations and the selection of either plant for
construction.
