You are an operating engineer in a steam power plant which is working on a regenerative Rankine cycle and you are requested to find the thermal efficiency of this cycle. You read the following data from the measuring devices used in the power plant: The pressure and temperature of the steam at the inlet of the turbine are 7000kPa and 550 °C, respectively. The pressure at the inlet of the condenser is 22 kPa. The extracted steam from the turbine is at 500 kPa and it is used to heat the feed water in an open feed water heater. The pumps and turbine efficiencies are 80% and 85%, respectively. Don't forget to show the evele on a T-s diagram.
Assume all the processes to be reversible and the heat losses from the pump and the turbine to be negligible. (a) If steam enters a pump (operates between the pressure limits of 5 MPa and 10 kPa) as saturated liquid, determine the pump work (consumed) per unit mass. (b) If steam leaves a turbine (operates between the pressure limits of 5 MPa and 10 kPa) as saturated vapor, determine the turbine work (delivered) per unit mass.

A power cycle operates between two thermal reservoirs at 300 K and 800 K. The working fluid of the cycle is air, which can be considered to be an ideal gas. Specific heats are not assumed to be constant. An inventor claims that for a heat input of 250 kJ, the net work from the cycle is 80 kJ. The work generating component in the cycle is a reversible, steady state turbine. The inlet pressure and temperature are 1000 kPa and 600 K and the exit temperature is 550 K. The turbine receives 150 kJ/kg of heat from the high temperature reservoir and loses 10 kJ/kg of heat to the ambient at 298 K. (a) Prove whether or not the overall cycle is possible using second law arguments. (b) determine the work done by the turbine [kJ/kg]
