A reheat cycle with two stages of reheating is executed with steam expanding initially from 200 bar (20 Mpaa) and 540  deg C. The 2 reheater pressures are 40 bar (4 Mpaa)  and 10 bar (1 Mpaa)  and the steam leaves  each reheater at 540 deg C. Steam is bled in between two reheating sessions at a pressure equal to 20 and  15  bars into 2 open feedwater heaters. Condensation occurs at 60 deg C. All expansion and  compression efficiencies are 90 %.  There is a total of 10.3 kg/sec of steam (total mass flow rate m) circulated in the cycle. Answer the following: fill up the blanks in the items below: Equipment layout and TS diagram for the cycle. Ideal turbine work (KW) Ans:_______________________________ Actual mass of steam bled into the open heater m1’= _____________kg/sec for the heater nearest to the SGU/boiler and m2’ = _____________________kg/sec for the heater nearest to the condenser. Actual engine efficiency (%) Answer: _______________________ Actual Rankine cycle efficiency % using Wt’ and Wp’ values   Answer: _____________

A reheat cycle with two stages of reheating is executed with steam expanding initially from 200 bar (20 Mpaa) and 540  deg C. The 2 reheater pressures are 40 bar (4 Mpaa)  and 10 bar (1 Mpaa)  and the steam leaves  each reheater at 540 deg C. Steam is bled in between two reheating sessions at a pressure equal to 20 and  15  bars into 2 open feedwater heaters. Condensation occurs at 60 deg C. All expansion and  compression efficiencies are 90 %.  There is a total of 10.3 kg/sec of steam (total mass flow rate m) circulated in the cycle.
