Consider a 210-MW steam power plant that operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 10 MPa and 500C and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kPa. Assuming an isentropic efficiency of 85 percent for both the turbine and the pump, determine: the quality of the steam at the turbine exit the thermal efficiency of the cycle specific enthalpy (kJ/kg) at the condenser both inlet and outlet specific enthalpy (kJ/kg) at the boiler both inlet and outlet WT, WP, WNet(kJ/kg) actual Qin (kJ/kg) and actual Qout (kJ/kg).

Consider a 210-MW steam power plant that operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 10 MPa and 500C and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kPa. Assuming an isentropic efficiency of 85 percent for both the turbine and the pump, determine:

  • the quality of the steam at the turbine exit
  • the thermal efficiency of the cycle
  • specific enthalpy (kJ/kg) at the condenser both inlet and outlet
  • specific enthalpy (kJ/kg) at the boiler both inlet and outlet
  • WT, WP, WNet(kJ/kg)
  • actual Qin (kJ/kg) and actual Qout (kJ/kg).
