Question 3 [30 marks] A reheat Rankine cycle is designed for a steam power plant. Steam enters both the high- and low- pressure turbines at 600oC. The maximum and minimum pressures of the cycle are 20 MPa and 20 kPa, respectively. Steam leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid. The moisture content of the steam at the exit of the low-pressure turbine is 4% if the actual expansion process is adiabatic; 8.5% if the ideal expansion process is isentropic. The...
A steam power plant operates on the reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 12.5 MPa and 5508C at a rate of 7.7 kg/s and leaves at 2 MPa. Steam is then reheated at constant pressure to 400 C before it expands in the low-pressure turbine. Steam leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid.
