Steam generated in a Rankine steam power cycle at a pressure of 8 MPa and temperature 600oC is fed to a turbine. Exhaust from the turbine enters a condenser at 100 kPa, where it is condensed to saturated liquid, which is then pumped to the boiler. (a) (20 pts.) What is the thermal efficiency η of an ideal Rankine cycle operating at these conditions? (b) (5 pts.) If the net power production of the cycle is 80,000 kW, what is...

A combined gas-steam power plant uses a simple gas turbine for
the topping cycle and a simple Rankine cycle for the bottoming
cycle. Atmospheric air enters the compressor at 101 kPa and 20 °C,
and the maximum gas cycle temperature is 1100 °C. The
compressor pressure ratio is 8. The gas stream leaves the heat
exchanger at the saturation temperature of the steam flowing
through the heat exchanger. Steam enters the heat exchanger at a
pressure of 6 MPa and...

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...

3) A solar powered steam generator operates under an ideal Rankine cycle. Water at a pressure of 15MPa enters the turbine as saturated vapor and leaves with a pressure of 0.125MPa. The mass flow rate in the cycle is 100 kg/s, while the temperature difference in the condenser water is 24 Celsius. Draw the T-s diagram of this ideal Rankine cycle. Determine the following: A) The net power developed in the cycle in kW B) The rate of heat transfer...
