A steam turbine, as shown in Figure Q3, operates at steady state with inlet conditions of Pi= 2 MPa, T1 = 480°C and producing 4000 kW. Saturated steam leaves the turbine at a pressure of 0.1 bar where it is condensed at 45.81 °C in the condenser. There is no significant heat transfer between the turbine and the condenser and their surroundings, and kinetic and potential energy changes between inlet and exit are negligible.

A steam power plant design consists of an ideal Rankine cycle with regeneration. Steam enters Turbine 1 at P1 and T1 at the rate of m1 and exits at P2. A fraction (y') of the steam exiting Turbine 1 is diverted to a closed feedwater heater while the remainder enters Turbine 2. A portion (y'') of the steam exiting Turbine 2 at P3 is diverted to an open feedwater heater while the remainder enters Turbine 3. The exit of Turbine...
