1. In a reheat cycle steam at 15 MPa, 500oC enters the engine and expands to 2 MPa. At this point the steam is withdrawn and passed through a reheater. It reenters the engine at 500oC. Expansion now occurs to the condenser pressure of 5 kPa. The steam flow is 150000 kg/hr, the generator efficiency is 96%, mechanical efficiency of 80% and indicated steam rate of 5.5 kg/kWh. For actual engine, find the following: a. output power in kW b. brake steam rate c. brake thermal efficiency

1. In a reheat cycle steam at 15 MPa, 500oC enters the engine and expands to 2
MPa. At this point the steam is withdrawn and passed through a reheater. It reenters the engine at 500oC. Expansion now occurs to the condenser pressure of 5
kPa. The steam flow is 150000 kg/hr, the generator efficiency is 96%, mechanical
efficiency of 80% and indicated steam rate of 5.5 kg/kWh. For actual engine, find the
following:
a. output power in kW
b. brake steam rate
c. brake thermal efficiency
d. combined engine efficiency

2. An ideal reheat Rankine cycle operates between 8 MPa and 5 kPa with a maximum
temperature of 600oC. Two reheat stages, each with a maximum temperature of
600oC are to be added to 2 MPa and 100 kPa. Calculate:
a. turbine work
b. heat added in the boiler
c. heat added in the reheater
d. thermal efficiency
