Question
1) In an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle, vapor enters the turbine at 7MPa and 550°C. Steam
first expands to 0.8MPa where some of the steam is extracted and transferred to an open
feedwater heater (FWH) operating at 0.8MPa. The remaining steam expands through the
second-stage turbine to the condenser pressure of 10kPa. Saturated liquid exits the open FWH
at 0.8MPa and water enters pump I as a saturated liquid. Determine
a) the power output of the cycle in kJ/kg
b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle
c) the heat transfer from the condenser to the environment, in kJ/kg.
