A steam power plant equipped with an open feed water heater as well as reheat arrangement, as shown in figure 1, supplies 50 kg/s of steam at 80 bar 470°C to the H.P. turbine. For feed heating, a part of steam is extracted at 7 bar and the remainder of the steam is reheated to 350°C in a reheater and then expanded in L.P. turbine down to 0.035 bar. The isentropic efficiency of both turbines is 0.85:
(a) Plot the T-s diagram of the cycle and identify all points corresponding to Fig. 1.
(b) Find the steam temperature at the exit of the HP turbine.
(c) Find the mount of steam bled-off for feed heating,
(d) Find the cycle efficiency
(e) Find the rate of entropy generated in the feed water heater, if the mixing process is adiabatic.
(f) The net power developed by the system
(g) The mass flow rate of the condenser cooling water if the river water enters the condenser at 18o C and leaves at 24o C.

A steam power plant is based on the Rankine cycle with reheat (refer to the figure below). Steam is produced by the boiler/superheater (H-1) at 100 bar and 600 C at a rate of 2.5 kgs. This is expanded to 10 bar in the turbine T-1 and then reheated to 600 °C in heater H-2. The steam is then expanded in turbine T-2 to a pressure of 0.1 bar. The steam is then condensed in condenser (C-1) which operates at...
Water is the working fluid in an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feed water heater, Figure 2. Upstream of the high pressure turbine superheated vapour with a mass flow rate of 90 kg/s entres the first-stage turbine at a pressure of 14 MPa Each turbine stage has an isentropic efficiency of 90%. The temperature of the inlet vapour is 520°C. The steam expands through the first-stage turbine to a pressure of 0.9MPa where some of the steam is...
SP-25 Consider a regenerative steam power plant with one open feedwater heater and one closed feedwater heater. Superheated steam enters the turbine with a mass flow rate of 120 kg/s at 16 MPa and 560°C (State 1). Some fraction of the steam is extracted at 40 bar (State 2) and is supplied to the closed feedwater heater. The remaining steam expands to a pressure of 3 bar (State 3), another fraction is extracted at this pressure, and is supplied to...
A steam power plant operates on the Rankine cycle modified to include superheat. The steam leaves the superheater at a pressure of 40 bar and a temperature of 500oC. After expansion in the turbine, which has an isentropic efficiency of 82%, the steam exhausts into the condenser at a pressure of 0.2 bar. Neglecting feed pump work calculate :- 1. The Thermal Efficiency of the plant. 2. The specific steam consumption. 3. The required mass flow rate of steam if...
A power plant operates on a regenerative vapor power cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam enters the first turbine stage at 12 MPa, 560°C and expands to 1 MPa, where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to the open feedwater heater operating at 1 MPa. The remaining steam expands through the second turbine stage to the condenser pressure of 6 kPa. Saturated liquid exits the open feedwater heater at 1 MPa. The net power output for the...

In a cogeneration plant, 10% kg/h of steam at 80 bar, 480 °C expands in the h.p. turbine to 10 bar. From the exhaust 4 x 10 kgh of steam is extracted for process heating. The remaining steam expands in the l.p. turbine to 0.08 bar. Saturated liquid at 0.08 bar leaving the condenser is pumped to 9.5 bar where it mixes with the condensate from the process heater leaving at 9.5 bar, 120°C. The entire flow is then pumped...
