A steam Rankine cycle operates with a condenser temperature of 30°C, and a boiler pressure of 15MPa. The turbine is divided into two stages, a high-pressure turbine, and a low pressure turbine. In between the turbine stages the steam is reheated by the boiler so that the inlet temperature to both turbine stages is the same. The exit pressure of the first turbine stage is 7MPa. The condenser inlet is a saturated vapor and the outlet a saturated liquid. What is the net work of the cycle? What is the thermal efficiency of the cycle?

A power station consists of a four-unit coal fired power station, having a combined capacity of 2,880 MW. The current efficiency of each unit is around 37.7%. You are asked to improve the thermal efficiency of each unit by lowering the condenser pressure. To simplify this task, assume that each unit operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle. If the superheated vapour enters the turbine at 10 MPa and 500 ֯C and is cooled in the condenser at a lower pressure 10 kPa, determine the quality of the steam at the turbine exit and the thermal efficiency of the cycle for one unit.
