Question
Consider a steam power plant that operates on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle.
Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 6 MPa and 400°C and leaves at 2
MPa. Steam is reheated to 400°C and expands in the low-pressure turbine to
20 kPa. Determine:
a. The turbine work output in kJ/kg.
b. The exergy destruction associated with each process in the cycle.
(Assume a source temperature of 1500 K and a sink temperature of 300 K)
Answers:
a. 1175.9 kJ/kg
b. 0, 129.2, 0, 106.34, 0, 209.14 kJ/kg
