Water is the working fluid in a Rankine cycle. Steam exits the steam generator at 1500 lbf/in.2 and 1100°F. Due to heat transfer and frictional effects in the line connecting the steam generator and turbine, the pressure and temperature at the turbine inlet are reduced to 1400 lbf/in.2 and 1000°F, respectively. Both the turbine and pump have isentropic efficiencies of 95%. Pressure at the condenser inlet is 2 lbf/ in. 2, but due to frictional effects the condensate exits the...

Water is the working fluid in an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with one closed feedwater heater. Superheated vapor enters the turbine at 12 MPa, 480°C, and the condenser pressure is 6 kPa. Steam expands through the first-stage turbine where some is extracted and diverted to a closed feedwater heater at 0.7 MPa. Condensate drains from the feedwater heater as saturated liquid at 0.7 MPa and is trapped into the condenser. The feedwater leaves the heater at 10 MPa and a...
