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 12 MPa as a saturated vapor, and the condenser temperature is 65 °C. 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.

A steam Rankine cycle operates with a condenser temperature of 30°C, and a boiler pressure of 15MPa. The turbine is divided into two stages, a high-pressure turbine, and a low pressure turbine. In between the turbine stages the steam is reheated by the boiler so that the inlet temperature to both turbine stages is the same. The exit pressure of the first turbine stage is 7MPa. The condenser inlet is a saturated vapor and the outlet a saturated liquid. What is the net work of the cycle? What is the thermal efficiency of the cycle?
