Current Attempt in Progress
Water is the working fluid in a regenerative Rankine cycle with one closed feedwater heater and one open feedwater heater. Steam
enters the turbine at 1400 lbf/in.2 and 950°F and expands to 400 lbf/in.2, where part of the steam is extracted and diverted into the
closed feedwater heater. Condensate exiting the closed feedwater heater as saturated liquid at 400 lbf/in.2 is trapped into the open
feedwater heater operating at 140 lbf/in.²
The feedwater leaves the closed feedwater heater at 1400 lbf/in.² and a temperature equal to the saturation temperature at 400
lbf/in.² The remaining steam expands through the second-stage turbine to 140 lbf/in.2, where some of the steam is extracted and
diverted to the open feedwater heater. Saturated liquid exits the open feedwater heater at 140 lbf/in.²
The remaining steam expands through the third-stage turbine to the condenser pressure of 1.5 lbf/in.2 The turbine stages operate
adiabatically with isentropic efficiencies of 88%, and the pumps each operate adiabatically with isentropic efficiencies of 82%. Flow
through the condenser, closed feedwater heater, open feedwater heater, and steam generator is at constant pressure. The net power
output of the cycle is 5 x 108 Btu/h.
Determine for the cycle:
a) the mass fraction of steam diverted to the closed heater after the first turbine: ge.
b) the mass fraction of steam diverted to the open heater after the second turbine stage.
c) the back work ratio.
:
d) the mass flow rate of steam entering the first stage of the turbine, in lbm/h.
e) the rate of heat transfer, in Btu/lbm, to the working fluid passing through the steam generator.
f) the thermal efficiency.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3c0e8861-6965-4100-9b60-6e8d89417f14%2F82059759-39f8-4916-bc16-7f4e11727d1f%2Fti141f_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
