Question
Steam is expanded in the high pressure turbine from 4000kPa, 360°C to
1000kPa with an isentropic efficiency of 80%. The steam is then reheated
isobarically to 360°C after which it passes through the low pressure turbine
expanding down to 4kPa with an isentropic efficiency of 75%.
If the condensate has a temperature of 24°C, calculate:
(a). the condition of the steam entering the reheater
(b). the condition of the steam entering the condenser
(c). the total power output for a mass flow-rate of 10tonnes of steam
per hour
(d). the specific steam consumption in kg steam/kWh
(e). the Rankine efficiency of the plant including the feed pump work
