c#: Water is the working fluid in a regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater
heater and one closed feedwater heater. Superheated vapor enters the firststage turbine at
MPa, oC and the condenser pressure is kPa. Steam expands through the firststage
turbine to MPa where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to a closed feedwater heater.
The feedwater leaves the open feedwater heater as saturated liquid. The remainder of the
feedwater expands to MPa through the secondstage turbine where more is extracted to an open
feedwater heater operating at MPa. Condensate drains from the closed feedwater heater as
saturated liquid and is trapped into the open feedwater heater. The feedwater leaves the closed
feedwater heater at the saturation temperature at MPa. All turbines and pumps operate with an
efficiency of Wcycle kJkg;
