REGENERATIVE CYCLE WITH ONE CLOSED HEATER: Fill up the blanks with your answers below. 1. A steam power plant operates on a reheat regenerative Rankine cycle with a closed feedwater heater. Steam enters the turbine at 8 Mpaa and 500 deg C at a rate of 20 kg/sec and is condensed in the condenser at a pressure of 20 kPaa. Steam is reheated at 3 MPaa, 500 deg C. Some steam is extracted from the turbine at 1 Mpaa and is completely condensed in the closed feedwater heater and pumped to 8 Mpaa before it mixes with the feedwater heater at the same pressure in a mixing chamber. The Terminal Difference for the CFWH, (i.e., the difference between the temperatures of the fluids leaving the heater) is 5 deg C. Assuming an isentropic efficiency of 88 percent for both the turbines and the pumps, determine: SUMMARY OF ANSWERS: 1.

Air enters the compressor at 300 K and compressor pressure ratio is 11, turbine inlet temperature is1100 K. The combustion gases leaving the gas turbine are used to heat the steam at 5 MPa to 350°C in a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The combustion gases leave the HRSG at 420 K. An open feedwater heater incorporated with the steam cycle operates at a pressure of 0.8 MPa. The condenser pressure is 10 kPa. Assuming isentropic efficiencies of 100 percent for the pump, 82 percent for the compressor, and 86 percent for the gas and steam turbines, the combined gas-steam power plant that has a net power output of 280 MW determine (a) the mass flow rate ratio of air to steam, (b) the required rate of heat input in the combustion chamber, and (c) the thermal efficiency of the combined cycle.arrow_forward1. In a combined gas-steam power cycle, the topping cycle is a gas-turbine cycle that has a pressure ratio of 7. Air enters the compressor at 310 K and the turbine at 1310 K. The process in turbines, compressor, and pump are isentropic. The bottoming cycle is a simple ideal Rankine cycle operating between the pressure limits of 7 MPa and 10 kPa. Steam is heated in a heat exchanger by the exhaust gases to a temperature of 00°C. The exhaust gases leave the heat exchanger at 450 K.
