A regenerative steam power cycle with an open regenerator is used to produce a net power of 330 MW. The steam enters the first expansion stage at 12 MPa, 560°C and expands to 1 MPa, where part of the steam is extracted for regeneration. The rest of the steam continues to expand to 6 kPa. The feed water leaves the regenerator as a saturated liquid at 1 MPa. If the turbines and pumps are isentropic, calculate the following: (a) The thermal efficiency of the cycle. (b) The mass flow through the first stage of the turbine.

A regenerative steam power cycle with an open regenerator is used to produce a net power of 330 MW. The steam enters the first expansion stage at 12 MPa, 560°C and expands to 1 MPa, where part of the steam is extracted for regeneration. The rest of the steam continues to expand to 6 kPa. The feed water leaves the regenerator as a saturated liquid at 1 MPa. If the turbines and pumps are isentropic, calculate the following: (a) The thermal efficiency of the cycle. (b) The mass flow through the first stage of the turbine. 

Se utiliza un ciclo de potencia de vapor regenerativo con un regenerador abierto
para producir una potencia neta de 330 MW. El vapor ingresa a la primera etapa
de expansión a 12 MPa, 560°C y se expande hasta 1 MPa, donde parte del vapor
se extrae para realizar la regeneración. El resto del vapor se continúa
expandiendo hasta 6 kPa. El agua de alimentación sale como líquido saturado del
regenerador a 1 MPa. Si las turbinas y bombas son isentrópicas, calcula lo
siguiente: (a) La eficiencia térmica del ciclo.(b) El flujo másico que cruza la
primera etapa de la turbina. *
