The power plant operates on a Rankine cycle. Operating pressure from 2000 psia to 1 psia. The temperature of the steam entering the turbine is 1000 F and the total work/power generated is 500000 hp. a. Draw the Rankine cycle of the power plant. b. What happens at 1 psia pressure? c. If it has reached a pressure of 1 psia will be passed by the pump, what do you do so that the fluid safely passes through the pump. d. If the question (b) of the low pressure of 1 psia is to be repressed, then what do you do so that the fluid is safely passed through the compressor. e. What is the quality of the steam after expansion in the turbine?
