What are the four major accessories of a Rankine Cycle? Define each.
Water is the working fluid in a Rankine cycle. Steam exits the steam generator at 1500 lbf/in.2 and 1100°F. Due to heat transfer and frictional effects in the line connecting the steam generator and turbine, the pressure and temperature at the turbine inlet are reduced to 1400 lbf/in.2 and 1000°F, respectively. Both the turbine and pump have isentropic efficiencies of 90%. Pressure at the condenser inlet is 2 lbf/ in.2, but due to frictional effects the condensate exits the condenser at a pressure of 1.5 lbf/in.2 and a temperature of 110°F. The condensate is pumped to 1600 lbf/in.2 before entering the steam generator. The net power output of the cycle is 1 x 109 Btu/h. Cooling water experiences a temperature increase from 60°F to 76°F, with negligible pressure drop, as it passes through the condenser.Determine for the cycle:(a) the mass flow rate of steam, in lb/h.(b) the rate of heat transfer, in Btu/h, to the working fluid passing through the steam generator.(c) the percent thermal…
Water is the working fluid in an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater. Superheated vapor enters the first-stage turbine at 16 MPa, 560°C, and the condenser pressure is 8 kPa. The mass flow rate of steam entering the first-stage turbine is 310 kg/s. Steam expands through the first-stage turbine to 1 MPa where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to an open feedwater heater operating at 1 MPa. The remainder expands through the second-stage turbine to the condenser pressure of 8 kPa. Saturated liquid exits the feedwater heater at 1 MPa.
