Repeat Problem 1, but plot the net power produced, the temperature of the boiler feedwater after the closed feedwater heater, and the thermal efficiency of the cycle for fractions of mass flow extracted from the turbine ranging between 0.05 and 0.25.

Problem 1

Consider the ideal Rankine cycle with superheat described in Problem 2. A closed feedwater heater with its drain cascaded backward is to be added to the cycle. Steam is extracted and sent to the feedwater heater at a pressure of 1 MPa. The fraction of mass extracted from the turbine is 0.12. Determine the net power produced, the temperature of the boiler feedwater after the closed feedwater heater, and the thermal efficiency of the cycle.

Problem 2

An ideal Rankine cycle with superheat has water as the working fluid. Superheated steam, with a pressure of 20 MPa and a temperature of 600°C, enters the turbine, and a saturated liquid at 25 kPa exits the condenser. The mass flow rate of the water is 200 kg/s. Determine the net power produced, the exit state of the water from the turbine, and the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
