1. A steam power plant operates on a reheat regenerative Rankine cycle with a closed feedwater heater. Steam enters the turbine at 9 Mpaa and 500 deg C at a rate of 15 kg/sec and is condensed in the condenser at a pressure of 20 kPaa. Steam is reheated at 3 MPaa, 500 deg C. Some steam is extracted from the turbine at 1 Mpaa and is completely condensed in the closed feedwater heater and pumped to 9 Mpaa before it mixes with the feedwater heater at the same pressure in a mixing chamber. The Terminal Difference for the CFWH, (i.e., the difference between the temperatures of the fluids leaving the heater) is 3 deg C. Assuming an isentropic efficiency of 89 percent for both the turbines and the pumps, determine: 1. Equipment Layout and TS diagram for the cycle 2. Ideal extracted steam for feedwater heating in kg/kg 3. Actual extracted steam for feedwater heating in kg/kg 4. Ideal Turbine work (KW) 5. Ideal engine efficiency (%)
