In a single-heater regenerative cycle the steam enters the turbine at 50 bar, 450°C and the exhaust pressure is 0.12 bar. The feed water is a direct contact type which operates at 5 bar. 4.1 Draw T-s diagram Neglecting the pump work, determine: 4.2 the efficiency and the steam rate of the cycle, 4.3 the increase in mean temperature of heat addition, efficiency and steam rate as compared to the Rankine cycle (without regeneration).

QUESTION 4 (Analysis of steam cycles)
In a single-heater regenerative cycle the steam enters the turbine at 50 bar, 450°C
and the exhaust pressure is 0.12 bar. The feed water is a direct contact type which
operates at 5 bar.
4.1 Draw T-s diagram
Neglecting the pump work, determine:
4.2 the efficiency and the steam rate of the cycle,
4.3 the increase in mean temperature of heat addition, efficiency and steam rate as
compared to the Rankine cycle (without regeneration).
NB: A similar schematic of the cycle.
