In a reheat cycle steam enters the high pressure turbine at 40 bar and 400oC. It expands isentropic ally to 6 bar and is reheated at constant pressure to 400oC. This steam is expanded isentropic ally in the low pressure turbine to the condenser pressure of 0.1 bar. Calculate the thermal efficiency and steam consumption for 10 MW output.

Question
In a reheat cycle steam enters the high pressure turbine at 40 bar and 400oC. It expands isentropic ally to 6 bar and is reheated at constant pressure to 400oC. This steam is expanded isentropic ally in the low pressure turbine to the condenser pressure of 0.1 bar. Calculate the thermal efficiency and steam consumption for 10 MW output.
In the steam power plant of problem#2, the reheater developed a leak and it was decided to run the plant bypassing the reheater. Determine the thermal efficiency and steam flow rate to develop the same power output.
