Question
H.W. 3.7 In a steam power plant develops an output power of (48MW) the steam
enters the high pressure turbine at (70 bar) and (450°C) and leaves it at (10 bar)
and (210°C). The steam is then reheated under constant pressure to (400°C) before
it expands in the low pressure turbine to the condenser pressure of (0.07 bar)and
dryness fraction of (0.93). Neglect the pump work and calculate:
1. The isentropic efficiency of each stage of turbine.
2. The cycle thermal efficiency.
Answers: (1) 87.7%. (2) 36.6%
