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.

Transcribed Image Text: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. *
