Question
8.35 Water is the working fluid in an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with one closed
feedwater heater. Superheated vapor enters the turbine at 10 MPa, 480°C, and the
condenser pressure is 6 kPa. Steam expands through the first-stage turbine where some
is extracted and diverted to a closed feedwater heater at 0.7 MPa. Condensate drains
from the feedwater heater as saturated liquid at 0.7 MPa and is trapped into the
condenser. The feedwater leaves the heater at 10 MPa and a temperature equal to the
saturation temperature at 0.7 MPa. Determine for the cycle
a. the heat transfer to the working fluid passing through the steam generator, in kJ
per kg of steam entering the first-stage turbine. 2624
b. the thermal efficiency. 42.7%
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. 1504.1
