Required information The net work output and the thermal efficiency for the Carnot and the simple ideal Rankine cycles with steam as the working fluid are to be calculated and compared. Steam enters the turbine in both cases at 10 MPa as a saturated vapor, and the condenser pressure is 50 kPa. In the Rankine cycle, the condenser exit state is saturated liquid and, in the Carnot cycle, the boiler inlet state is saturated liquid. Draw the T-s diagrams for both cycles.

T B A D Consider the cycle in the diagram (very similar to the Rankine Cycle) using water as the working fluid. Process A-B: A saturated mixture of water is pumped from low pressure to a high pressure saturated liquid in an iso- entropic (and adiabatic) process. Process B-C: The high pressure saturated liquid enters a boiler where it is heated at constant pressure process by an external heat source to a super-heated vapor. Process C-D: The super-heated vapor goes through a turbine, generating power exiting as a saturated vapor. Assume an iso-entropic (and adiabatic) process and neglect kinetic energy and potential energy changes. Process D-A: The saturated vapor then enters a condenser where it is condensed at a constant pressure process back to its original state. The boiler operates at 8 MPa (points B & C) and the condenser operates at 200 kPa (points A & D). Assume a mass flow rate of 1 kg/s.
