An Actual Reheat Cycle with one-stage reheating is executed with steam expanding initially from the throttle at 8 MPa and 485°C. The steam enters a Reheater at 1.425 MPa, 305°C. The steam leaves the reheater at 485°C with a pressure drop of 425 kPa. The steam leaves the Turbine at 35°C after 2nd expansion with 95%quality. The condensate is subcooled by 20°. Turbine mechanical efficiency, 78%; Generator output 40MW at 92% efficiency.

Problem Using Separate Reheater
An Actual Reheat Cycle with one-stage reheating is executed with steam expanding initially from the throttle at 8 MPa
and 485°C. The steam enters a Reheater at 1.425 MPa, 305°C. The steam leaves the reheater at 485°C_with a pressure
drop of 425 kPa. The steam leaves the Turbine at 35°C after 2nd expansion with 95%quality. The condensate is subcooled
by 20°. Turbine mechanical efficiency, 78%; Generator output 40MW at 92% efficiency.
Determine
For Actual cycle
(a) Thermal efficiency in %
(b) Steam rate in kg/kwh
(c) Heat rate in kJ/kwh
For Actual Engine
(d) Indicated engine efficiency in %
(e) Brake engine efficiency in %
(f) Combined engine efficiency in %
(g) mass flow of steam in kg/h
