A steady-state system for producing power consist of a pump, heat exchanger and a turbine. Water steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat– regenerative Rankine cycle. Steam enters the highpressure turbine at 10 MPa and 550°C and leaves at 0.8 MPa. Some steam is extracted at this pressure to heat the feedwater in an open feedwater heater. The rest of the steam is reheated to 500°C and is expanded in the low-pressure turbine to the condenser pressure of 10 kPa. Determine the entropy generation associated with the reheating and regeneration processes. Assume a source temperature of 1800 K.  Please can you specify the assumptions in this problem?

Question

A steady-state system for producing power consist of a pump, heat exchanger and a turbine. Water
steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat– regenerative Rankine cycle. Steam enters the highpressure turbine at 10 MPa and 550°C and leaves at 0.8 MPa. Some steam is extracted at this
pressure to heat the feedwater in an open feedwater heater. The rest of the steam is reheated to
500°C and is expanded in the low-pressure turbine to the condenser pressure of 10 kPa. Determine
the entropy generation associated with the reheating and regeneration processes. Assume a source
temperature of 1800 K. 

Please can you specify the assumptions in this problem?
