2. Consider a regenerative vapor power cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam enters the turbine at 8.0 MPa, 480°C and expands to 0.7 MPa, where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to the open feedwater heater operating at 0.7 MPa. The remaining steam expands through the second-stage turbine to the condenser pressure of 0.008 MPa. Saturated liquid exits the open feedwater heater at 0.7 MPa. The isentropic efficiency of each turbine stage is 85% and each pump operates isentropically. If the net power output of the cycle is 100 MW, determine (a) the thermal efficiency and (b) the mass flow rate of steam entering the first turbine stage, in kg/h.

Transcribed Image Text:2. Consider a regenerative vapor power cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam enters the turbine at 8.0 MPa,
480°C and expands to 0.7 MPa, where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to the open feedwater heater
operating at 0.7 MPa. The remaining steam expands through the second-stage turbine to the condenser pressure of
0.008 MPa. Saturated liquid exits the open feedwater heater at 0.7 MPa. The isentropic efficiency of each turbine
stage is 85% and each pump operates isentropically. If the net power output of the cycle is 100 MW, determine (a)
the thermal efficiency and (b) the mass flow rate of steam entering the first turbine stage, in kg/h.
