Q5. A Rankine cycle opcrates with stcam between limits of 40 bar and 450 °C, and 0.035 bar. The cyclc is topped of a mercury cycle that operates between the limit of 12 bar (saturated at turbine entry) and 0.2 bar. The isentropic turbine efficiencies are 0.75 in both cycles. The heat to the steam economizer and superheater is supplied externally. Calculate the mercury to steam flow ratio and the cycle efficiency. (Ans. 6.88,0.39)
