Water is the working fluid in a regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam enters the turbine at 1800 lb/in² and 1200°F and expands to 120 lb/in.2, where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to the open feedwater heater operating at 120 lb-/in.² The remaining steam expands through the second-stage turbine to the condenser pressure of 2 lb-/in.² Each turbine stage and both pumps have isentropic efficiencies of 85%. Flow through the condenser, open feedwater heater, and steam generator is at constant pressure. Saturated liquid exits the open feedwater heater at 120 lb/in.² The mass flow rate of steam entering the first stage of the turbine is 2.42x10 lb/h.

Transcribed Image Text:Water is the working fluid in a regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam enters the turbine at 1800 lb-/in²
and 1200°F and expands to 120 lb/in.², where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to the open feedwater heater operating at
120 lb-/in.² The remaining steam expands through the second-stage turbine to the condenser pressure of 2 lb-/in.² Each turbine stage
and both pumps have isentropic efficiencies of 85%. Flow through the condenser, open feedwater heater, and steam generator is at
constant pressure. Saturated liquid exits the open feedwater heater at 120 lb/in.² The mass flow rate of steam entering the first stage
of the turbine is 2.42x106 lb/h.
