Explanation Consider the system is in steady state. Hence, the inlet and exit mass flow rates are equal. The mass flow rate of feed water ( m ˙ f w ) is as follows. m ˙ 1 = m ˙ 2 = m ˙ f w The mass flow rate of steam ( m ˙ s ) is as follows. m ˙ 3 = m ˙ 4 = m ˙ s Write the energy rate balance equation for one inlet and one outlet system. [ Q ˙ 1 + W ˙ 1 + m ˙ ( h 1 + V 1 2 2 + g z 1 ) ] − [ Q ˙ 2 + W ˙ 2 + m ˙ ( h 2 + V 2 2 2 + g z 2 ) ] = Δ E ˙ system (I) Here, the rate of heat transfer is Q ˙ , the rate of work transfer is W ˙ , the enthalpy is h and the velocity is V , the gravitational acceleration is g , the elevation from the datum is z and the rate of change in net energy of the system is Δ E ˙ system ; the suffixes 1 and 2 indicates the inlet and outlet of the system. The system is at steady state. Hence, the rate of change in net energy of the system becomes zero. Δ E ˙ system = 0 Neglect the work transfer, heat transfer to the surrounding, potential and kinetic energies. The Equations (I) reduced as follows for feed water. [ 0 + 0 + m ˙ 1 ( h 1 + 0 + 0 ) ] − [ 0 + 0 + m ˙ 2 ( h 2 + 0 + 0 ) ] = 0 m ˙ 1 h 1 − m ˙ 2 h 2 = 0 m ˙ 1 h 1 = m ˙ 2 h 2 (II) The Equations (I) reduced as follows for steam. [ 0 + 0 + m ˙ 3 ( h 3 + 0 + 0 ) ] − [ 0 + 0 + m ˙ 4 ( h 4 + 0 + 0 ) ] = 0 m ˙ 3 h 3 − m ˙ 4 h 4 = 0 m ˙ 3 h 3 = m ˙ 4 h 4 (III) Combining Equation (II) and (III). m ˙ 1 h 1 + m ˙ 3 h 3 = m ˙ 2 h 2 + m ˙ 4 h 4 m ˙ 2 h 2 − m ˙ 1 h 1 = m ˙ 3 h 3 − m ˙ 4 h 4 Substitute m ˙ f w for m ˙ 1 , m ˙ 2 and m ˙ s for m ˙ 3 , m ˙ 4

Consider a simple ideal Brayton cycle with air as the working fluid. The pressure ratio of the cycle is 7.2, and the minimum and maximum temperatures are 300 K and 1350 K, respectively. Now the pressure ratio is doubled without changing the minimum and the maximum temperatures in the cycle. Assuming constant specific heats for air at room temperature; show the initial process and process change in a T-s diagram; calculate the change in the net work output per unit mass; and determine the change in thermal efficiency of the cycle.

The first steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the first turbine at 8 MPa and 500 C and leaves at 3 MPa. Steam is then reheated at a constant pressure to 500 C before it expands to 20 kPa in the low-pressure turbine. Assuming that heat is being added to the boiler from a high temperature source at 1800 K and the condenser is transferring heat to a temperature sink at 300 K. 1. Investigate the effect of changing pump efficiency on the overall thermal efficiency of the thermodynamics cycle (Hint: You will assume different values for the isentropic pump efficiency such as: 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, and 100%, then observe how it will change the thermal efficiency of the cycle). Representing the results in a plot is recommended.

In a regenerative Rankine cycle. the closed feedwater heater with a pump as shown in the figure is arranged so that the water at state 5 is mixed with the water at state 2 to form a feedwater, which is a saturated liquid at 200 psia. Feedwater enters this heater at 350°F and 200 psia with a flow rate of 3 lbm/s. The bleed steam is taken from the turbine at 160 psia and 400°F and enters the pump as a saturated liquid at 160 psia. Determine the mass flow rate of the bleed steam required to operate this unit. Use steam tables. Feedwater Bleed steam (from turbine) 1 —¬ The mass flow rate of the bleed steam required to operate the unit is lbm/s.
