Consider a steam power plant with a reheat Rankine cycle. The steam enters the high pressure turbine at 16 MPa and 550 ° C, and condenses in the condenser at 10 kPa. If the moisture content of the steam at the outlet of the low pressure turbine should not exceed 5%, determine: a) The pressure to which the steam should be reheated. b) The thermal efficiency of the cycle

If the moisture content of the steam at the outlet of the low pressure turbine should not exceed 5%, determine: a) The pressure to which the steam should be reheated. b) The thermal efficiency of the cycle

Considere una planta de energía de vapor con un ciclo Rankine de
recalentamiento. El vapor entra en la turbina de alta presión a 16 MPa y 55O°C, y
se condensa en el condensador a 10 kPa. Si el contenido de humedad del vapor a
la salida de la turbina de baja presión no debe exceder 5%, determine: a) La
presión a la que el vapor se debe recalentar. b) La eficiencia térmica del ciclo.
