Question: Repeat Prob. 10-37 assuming both the pump and the turbine are isentropic. Prob. 10-37 Consider a steam power plant that operates on a reheat Rankine
Prob. 10-37
Consider a steam power plant that operates on a reheat Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 80 MW. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 10 MPa and 5008C and the low-pressure turbine at 1 MPa and 5008C. Steam leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid at a pressure of 10 kPa. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 80 percent, and that of the pump is 95 percent. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine
(a) the quality (or temperature, if superheated) of the steam at the turbine exit
(b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle
(c) the mass flow rate of the steam.
