Consider a reheat–regenerative vapor power cycle with two feedwater heaters, a closed feedwater heater and an open feedwater heater. Steam enters the first turbine at 12.0 MPa, 520C and expands to 0.6 MPa. The steam is reheated to 480C before entering the second turbine, where it expands to the condenser pressure of 0.006 MPa. Steam is extracted from the first turbine at 2 MPa and fed to the closed feedwater heater. Feedwater leaves the closed heater at 205C and 8.0...
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...
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 28 kPa. Saturated liquid exits the open feedwater heater at 1 MPa. The net power output for the...
Consider a reheat-regenerative vapor power cycle with two feedwater heaters, a closed feedwater heater and an open feedwater heater. Steam enters the first turbine at 8.0 MPa, 500°C and expands to 0.8 MPa. The steam is reheated to 500°C before entering the second turbine, where it expands to the condenser pressure of 10 kPa. Steam is extracted from the first turbine at 2 MPa and fed to the closed feedwater heater. Feedwater leaves the closed heater at 200°C and 8.0...
Consider a reheat-regenerative vapor power cycle with two feedwater heaters, a closed feedwater heater and an open feedwater heater. Steam enters the first turbine at 8.0 MPa, 480 C and expands to 0.7 MPa. The steam is reheated to 440°C before entering the second turbine, where it expands to the condenser pressure of 0.008 MPa Steam is extracted from the first turbine at 2 MPa and fed to the closed feedwater heater. Feedwater leaves the closed heater at 205 C...
A basic Rankine cycle is to produce 200 MW of power. The inlet steam pressure can be no higher than 15 MPa, and the outside environment is 15 degrees Celsius. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 0.8, and the isentropic efficiency of the pump is 0.75. (a) Design a basic cycle, specifying state properties at each state, the required mass flow rate of the steam, the thermal efficiency of the cycle, and the required mass flow rate of either...
8.63 Data for a regenerative vapor power cycle using an open and a closed feedwater heater similar in design to that shown in Fig PS.60 are provided in the table below. Steam enters the hubine at 14 MPa, 560 C, state 1, and expands isentropically in three stages to a condenser of80 kPa, state 4. Saturated liquid exiting the condenser at state 5 İs pumped isentropically to state 6 and enters the open feedwater heater. Between the first and second...
The ‘Condensate pre-heater’ shown in the process circuit for the Killingholme combined cycle is a counter flow shell and tube heat exchanger heated by a heat transfer oil. In reality this would utilise waste heat from the heat recovery boiler but this has been simplified for the purposes of setting an assessment question, to just using hot oil. The heat transfer oil flows through the tubes and the condensate flows through the shell of the heat exchanger. The oil enters...
A steam power plant operates on an ideal Rankine cycle with two
of its feedwater heater closed as shown in the figure below and
with a net power output of 105MW. The mass flow rate of the steam
is 70kg/s and enters the high-pressure turbine at 6MPa and
and leaves at 1.5 Mpa. a fraction of x of steam is extracted at
this pressure to the closed feedwater. a fraction of y of steam is
extracted from the second stage...
Refer to Figure 3 (below), depicting a regenerative Rankine cycle with a closed feedwater heater (CFWH) when considering the following system description. Saturated liquid water at a pressure of P before entering the CFWH. 12 kPa is pumped to a pressure of Pi-5 MPa After leaving the CFWH as a saturated liquid, the water continues to a Steam Generator which heats the water to a temperature of Ts 600°C. This superheated steam is used to drive a Turbine. A quantity...
