Question:

In the ideal Rankine power cycle with reheat of Fig. 8.33, steam leaves the steam generator at 1200 psia and 1200 8 F with a mass flow rate of 50 lbm/s. It leaves the high-pressure turbine at 150 psia and is reheated to 1200 8 F at this pressure. The steam leaves the low-pressure turbine at 6 psia. The condenser heat is carried away by cooling water. Refer to the T-s diagram of Fig. 8.17 and calculate:
i) The heat transfer rate by the boiler from state 2 to state 3
ii) The heat transfer rate in the reheat process
iii) The total power output of the turbine
iv) The rate of heat loss from the condenser
v) The state of the steam leaving the turbine
vi) The pump horsepower
vii) The efficiency of the cycle
viii) The mass flux of cooling water as it passes through the condenser if a 70°F increase in the cooling water is allowed
