IDEAL RANKINE CYCLE WITH REHEAT

SHOW COMPLETE SOLUTION

Pump
A small power plant produces steam at 3 MPa, 600°C, from the boiler. The first turbine section expands to
500 kPa, and then flow is reheated followed by the expansion in the low-pressure turbine. The condenser is
kept at 45°C by heat transfer of 10 MW to the environment.
Turbine
4
Condenser
a)
Draw and label the T's Diagram.
b) Find the reheat temperature (T) (i.e. inlet temperature to low-pressure turbine) so that the low-
pressure turbine output (State 6) is Saturated Vapor.
