Explanation of Solution

Given:

Pressure of water at state 3(P3) is 15,000kPa.

Pressure of water at state 1(P1) is 100kPa.

Pressure of water at state 5(P5) is 2000kPa.

Temperature of water at the state 3(T3) is 450°C.

Mass flow rate of the water (m˙) is 1.74kg/s.

Calculation:

Draw the Ts diagram of the cycle as in Figure (1).

The entropies are constant for the process 3 to 4 and process 5 to 6.

  s3=s4s5=s6

Refer Table A-5, “Saturated water-Pressure table”, obtain the specific enthalpy and specific volume at state 1 corresponding to the pressure of 100kPa.

  h1=hf@100kPa=417.51kJ/kgv1=vf@100kPa=0.001043m3/kg

Calculate the work done by the pump during process 1-2(wp,in).

  wp,in=v1(P2P1)=(0.001043m3/kg)(15000kPa100kPa)=(0.001043m3/kg)(15000kPa100kPa)(1kJ1kPam3)=15.54kJ/kg

Calculate the specific enthalpy at state 2(h2).

  h2=h1+wp,in=417.51kJ/kg+15.54kJ/kg=433.05kJ/kg

Refer Table A-6, “Superheated water”, obtain the specific enthalpy and specific entropy at state 3 corresponding to the pressure of 15,000kPa and temperature of 450°C.

  h3=3157.6kJ/kgs3=6.1434kJ/kgK

Refer Table A-5, “Saturated water-Pressure table”, obtain the following properties corresponding to the pressure of 2000kPa and specific entropy of 6.1434kJ/kgK.

  hf=908.47kJ/kghfg=1889.8kJ/kgsf=2.4467kJ/kgKsfg=3.8923kJ/kgK

Calculate the quality of water at state 4(x4).

  x4=s4sfsfg=6.1434kJ/kgK2.4467kJ/kgK3.8923kJ/kgK=0.9497

Calculate the specific enthalpy at state 4(h4).

  h4=hf+x4hfg=908.47kJ/kg+(0.9497)(1889.8kJ/kg)=2703.3kJ/kg

Refer Table A-6, “Superheated water”, obtain the specific enthalpy and specific entropy at state 5 corresponding to the pressure of 2000kPa and temperature of 450°C.

  h5=3358.2kJ/kgs5=7.2866kJ/kgK

Refer Table A-5, “Saturated water-Pressure table”, obtain the following properties corresponding to the pressure of 100kPa and specific entropy of 7.2866kJ/kgK.

  hf=417.51kJ/kghfg=2257.5kJ/kgsf=1.3028kJ/kgKsfg=6.0562kJ/kgK

Calculate the quality of water at state 6(x6).

  x6=s6sfsfg=7.2866kJ/kgK1.3028kJ/kgK6.0562kJ/kgK=0.9880

Calculate the specific enthalpy at state 6(h6).

  h6=hf+x6hfg=417.51kJ/kg+(0.9880)(2257.5kJ/kg)=2648kJ/kg

Calculate the net power produced by the cycle (W˙net).

  W˙net=m˙wnet=m˙(qinqout)=m˙[(h3h2)+(h5h4)(h6h1)]

  =(1.74kg/s)[(3157.9kJ/kg433.03kJ/kg)+(3358.2kJ/kg2703.3kJ/kg)(2648kJ/kg417.51kJ/kg)]=2000kW

Thus, the net power produced by the cycle is 2000kW.

Calculate the rate of heat transfer in the reheater (Q˙reheater).

  Q˙reheater=m˙(h5h4)=(1.74kg/s)(3358.2kJ/kg2703.3kJ/kg)=1140kW

Thus, the rate of heat transfer in the reheater is 1140kW.

Calculate the power used by the pumps (W˙p,in).

  W˙p,in=m˙wp,in=(1.74kg/s)(15.54kJ/kg)=27kW

Thus, the power used by the pumps is 27kW.

Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle (ηth).

  ηth=1qoutqin=1(h6h1)(h3h2)+(h5h4)

  =(2648kJ/kg417.51kJ/kg)(3157.9kJ/kg433.03kJ/kg)+(3358.2kJ/kg2703.3kJ/kg)=2230.5kJ/kg3379.8kJ/kg=0.340=34%

Thus, the thermal efficiency of the cycle is 34%.
