Textbook Question

Chapter 10.9, Problem 57P

Consider a steam power plant that operates on the ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with a closed feedwater heater as shown in the figure. The plant maintains the turbine inlet at 3000 kPa and 350°C and operates the condenser at 20 kPa. Steam is extracted at 1000 kPa to serve the closed feedwater heater, which discharges into the condenser after being throttled to condenser pressure. Calculate the work produced by the turbine, the work consumed by the pump, and the heat supply in the boiler for this cycle per unit of boiler flow rate.

10–57 Reconsider Prob. 10–55. Determine the thermal efficiency of the regenerative Rankine cycle when the isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 90 percent before and after the steam extraction point.

See the following picture:

Consider a steam power plant that operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 45MW. Steam enters the turbine at 7 MPa and 500 ˚C and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 10kPa by running cooling water from a lake through the tubes of the condenser at a rate of 2000 kg/s. Show the schematic diagram of the power plant and draw the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines. Also, determine (a) the thermal efficiency of the cycle, (b) the mass flow rate of the steam, and (c) the rise in temperature of the cooling water. Repeat your calculations assuming an isentropic efficiency of 85 and 90 for the turbine and the pump, respectively.

Consider a 150-MW steam power plant that operates on a simple Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 7 MPa and 500°C and is cooled in the condenser at 10 kPa. Calculate the thermal efficiency of the plant. Assume an isentropic efficiency of 87% for both the turbine and the pump
