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?

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.

A simple steam power plant uses water as the working fluid and operates on the simple ideal Rankine cycle. The boiler operates at 15000 kPa and the condenser at 30 kPa. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines and determine the phase change in each state, the minimum temperature required at the turbine inlet such that the mixture at the exit of the turbine is not lower than 80 percent and the thermal efficiency of the cycle
A simple ideal Rankine cycle with water as the working fluid operates between the pressure limits of 3 MPa in the boiler and 30 kPa in the condenser.
