Question
Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. A power plant uses superheated steam which enters the turbine at 16 MPa and 520°C. Turbine and pump efficiencies are 81%
and 78%, respectively. The condenser pressure is 8 kPa (T satn = 41.51° C) The mass flow rate of steam entering the turbine is 120 kg/s.
The isentropic enthalphy of the exhaust steam in kJ /kg steam
Given at P = 16 Mpa and T = 520 C ; H2 = 2580.6 kJ/kg
at P = 8 Mpa; HL3 = 172.88 kJ/kg steam Hv3 = 2577.0 kJ/kg steam
Hint: Use x in the Isentropic calculation of S
O A. -1638.2
O B. -4742.6
O C. 4742.6
O D. 1638.2
