Question
Water is the working fluid in a regenerative Rankine cycle with one closed feedwater heater and one open feedwater heater. Steam
enters the turbine at 1400 lbf/in.? and 1000°F and expands to 500 lbf/in.?, where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to the
closed feedwater heater. Condensate exiting the closed feedwater heater as saturated liquid at 500 lbf/in.? undergoes a throttling
process to 12O Ibf/in.2 as it passes through a trap into the open feedwater heater.
The feedwater leaves the closed feedwater heater at 1400 lbf/in.? and a temperature equal to the saturation temperature at 500
Ibf/in.2 The remaining steam expands through the second-stage turbine to 120 Ibf/in.?, where some of the steam is extracted and
diverted to the open feedwater heater operating at 120 Ibf/in.? Saturated liquid exits the open feedwater heater at 120 lbf/in.?
The remaining steam expands through the third-stage turbine to the condenser pressure of 3.5 lbf/in.2 The turbine stages and the
pumps each operate adiabatically with isentropic efficiencies of 85%. Flow through the condenser, closed feedwater heater, open
feedwater heater, and steam generator is at constant pressure. The net power output of the cycle is 1 x 10° Btu/h.
Determine for the cycle:
(a) the mass flow rate of steam entering the fırst stage of the turbine, in Ib/h.
(b) the rate of heat transfer, in Btu/h, to the working fluid passing through the steam generator.
(c) the percent thermal efficiency.
