Question

Steam at 2000 psia and 1000°F enters the high-pressure turbine of a reheat cycle and is expanded adiabatically and reversibly to 200 psia. The steam is then passed through the superheater, from where it exits at the 950°F temperature. The low-pressure turbine expands the steam reversibly and adiabatically to 1 psia. If 7 lbm/s of steam is used and the circulating pump is assumed to operate ideally, the power produced, the added heat rate, and the cycle efficiency are:

a)     7049,76 hp ; 12124,5 Btu/s ; 42,2% 

b)    7400,77 hp ; 11553,7 Btu/s ; 45,1% 

c)     8350,08 hp ; 13089,6 Btu/s ; 49,8% 

d)    7944,76 hp ; 11834,2 Btu/s ; 47,6%
