Transcribed Image Text:Q4: Consider a steam power plant that operates on an ideal reheat-
regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater, one closed
feedwater heater, and one reheater. Steam enters the turbine at 15 MPa
the condenser at a pressure of 10 kPa.
and 600°C and is condensed
Some steam is extracted from the turbine at 4 MPa for the closed
feedwater heater, and the remaining steam is reheated at the same
pressure to 600°C. The extracted steam is completely condensed in the
heater and is pumped to 15 MPa before it mixes with the feedwater at the
same pressure. Steam for the open feedwater heater is extracted from the
low-pressure turbine at a pressure of 0.5 MPa. Determine the fractions of
steam extracted from the turbine as well as the thermal efficiency of the
сycle.
