Question
8.25 Water is the working fluid in an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle. Superheated
vapor enters the turbine at 10 MPa, 480°C, and the condenser pressure is 6 kPa. Steam
expands through the first-stage turbine to 0.7 MPa where some of the steam is extracted
and diverted to an open feedwater heater operating at 0.7 MPa. The remaining steam
expands through the second-stage turbine to the condenser pressure of 6 kPa. Saturated
liquid exits the feedwater heater at 0.7 MPa. Determine for the cycle
a. the heat addition, in kJ per kg of steam entering the first-stage turbine. 2613.9
b. the thermal efficiency. 44.2%
c. the heat transfer from the working fluid passing through the condenser to the
cooling water, in kJ per kg of steam entering the first-stage turbine. 1458.4
