Example 4.5: Steam expands in a turbine from 25 condenser pressare of 20 KPa. Evaluate the Rankine cycle efficiency. What is the efficiency if the initial temperature of steam is 500°C instead of 300°C ? Now if the boiler prcssure is increased to 60 bar maintaining the steam temperature at turbine inlet at 500°C, calculate the efficiency. Assume the condenser pressure to rmain constant in all the cases.

Example 4.5: Stem expands in a turbine from 25 bar and 300°C to a
condenser pressare of 20 KPa. Evaluate the Rankine cycle efficiency. What is the
efficiency if the initial tempprature of steam is 500°C instead of 300°C ? Now
if the boiler pressure is increased to 60 bar maintaining the steam temperature at
turbine inlet at 500°C, calculate the efficiency. Assume the condenser pressure
to rmain constant in all the cases.
