Steam enters the first turbine stage of a vapor power cycle with reheat and regeneration at 32 MPa, 600°C. and expands to 8 MPa. A portion of the flow is diverted to a closed feedwater heater at 8 MPa, and th remainder is reheated to 560°C before entering the second turbine stage. Expansion through the second turbine stage occurs to 1 MPa, where another portion of the flow is diverted to a second closed feedwater heater at 1 MPa. The remainder of the flow expands through the third turbine stage to 0.15 MPa, where a portion of the flow is diverted to an open feedwater heater operating at 0.15 MPa, and the rest expands through the fourth turbine stage to the condenser pressure of 6 kPa. Condensate leaves each closed feedwater heater as saturated liquid at the respective extraction pressure. The feedwater steams leave each closed feedwater heater at a temperature equal to the saturation temperature at the respective extraction pressure. The condensate steams from the closed heaters each pass through traps into the next lower-pressure feedwater heater. Saturated liquid exiting the open heater is pumped to the steam generator pressure. If each turbine stage has an isentropic efficiency of 85% and the pumps operate isentropically, determine the feedwater pump specific work kJ/kg. A 467.11 151.53 C 151.67 D) 500.64

Question
Steam enters the first turbine stage of a vapor power cycle with reheat and regeneration at 32 MPa, 600°C, and expands to 8 MPa. A portion of the flow is diverted to a closed feedwater heater at 8 MPa, and the remainder is reheated to 560°C before entering the second turbine stage. Expansion through the second turbine stage occurs to 1 MPa, where another portion of the flow is diverted to a second closed feedwater heater at 1 MPa. The remainder of the flow expands through the third turbine stage to 0.15 MPa, where a portion of the flow is diverted to an open feedwater heater operating at 0.15 MPa, and the rest expands through the fourth turbine stage to the condenser pressure of 6 kPa. Condensate leaves each closed feedwater heater as saturated liquid at the respective extraction pressure. The feedwater steams leave each closed feedwater heater at a temperature equal to the saturation temperature at the respective extraction pressure. The condensate steams from the closed heaters each pass through traps into the next lower-pressure feedwater heater. Saturated liquid exiting the open heater is pumped to the steam generator pressure. If each turbine stage has an isentropic efficiency of 85% and the pumps operate isentropically, determine the feedwater pump specific work kj/kg. 467.11 B 151.53 C) 151.67 (D 500.64
