A steam Rankine cycle operates between the pressure limits of 1500 psia in the boiler and 3 psla in the condenser. The turbine Inlet temperature is 800°F. The turbine isentropic efficiency is 90 percent, the pump losses are negligible, and the cycle is sized to produce 2500 kW of power. How much error is caused in the thermal efficiency if the power required by the pump were completely neglected? Use steam tables. The error caused in the thermal efficiency if the power required by the pump was completely neglected is 32.65 %.

Compare the thermal efficiency and turbine-exit quality (temperature if superheated) at the condenser pressure for a simple Rankine cycle and the reheat cycle when the boiler pressure is 5 MPa, the boiler exit temperature is 500°C, and the condenser pressure is 20 kPa. The reheat takes place at 0.5 MPa and the steam leaves the reheater at 500°C. (Enthalpies are in KJ/kg.) Without the reheater, the heat added is: The enthalpy entering the condenser is: The net Work is: The enthalpy entering the reheater is: Without the reheater, the net Work is:

Oren is hired to design a massive 450 MW power plant for the city of Dubai. Oren decides that the optimal efficiency would be obtained if the pressure of saturdted vapár entering the turbine should be 10 MPa.and the presJure of saturated liquid exiting the condensor to be 0.005 MPa. Dubai is in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where the water from the Persian Gulf is 4O °C and UAE environmental laws limit the exiting coa ling water to a maximum temperature of 45°C (to prevent damage to local fishing industry). For Oren's power plant, calculate : A.) heat input from the boiler (in MegaWatts) B.) thermal efficiency C.) mass flow rate of caoling water (in k/s)
