Water is the working fluid in an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam enters the turbine at 1400 lbf/in.2 and 1000°F and expands to 120 lbf/in.2, where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to the open feedwater heater operating at 120 lbf/in.2 The remaining steam expands through the second-stage turbine to the condenser pressure of 10 lbf/in.² Saturated liquid exits the open feedwater heater at 120 lbf/in.2 The net power output of the cycle is 1 x 10⁹ Btu/h. Determine for the cycle: (a) the mass flow rate of steam entering the first stage of the turbine, in lb/h. (b) the rate of heat transfer, in Btu/h, to the working fluid passing through the steam generator. (c) the percent thermal efficiency.

An air pump is used to fill a rigid gas bottle with air. The pump is connected to the gas bottle via a rigid pipe. The pump consists of a piston of internal diameter d=0.08 m and a cylinder with a stroke L=0.3m. Air enters the pump through an orifice located at the bottom of the cylinder to raise the pressure in the pump to atmospheric pressure. Air, drawn into the pump through the orifice, mixes completely and adiabatically with the cylinder contents. A valve allows the bottle's refill. The valve opens when the pump pressure is equal to the gas bottle. The valve is always closed when the pump pressure is below the gas bottle pressure. Pressure drop across the valve can be neglected. The bottle, the connecting pipe and the pump are thermally insulated. Air in the pump and connecting pipe undergoes isentropic compression and expansion processes.
