Question: 5 ( c ) _ # 3 : Steam enters the first turbine stage of a 3 - stage Rankine Cycle at 1 8 MPa

5(c)_#3: Steam enters the first turbine stage of a 3-stage Rankine Cycle at 18 MPa and 700 oC
and the condenser pressure is 70 kPa. One closed feedwater heater operates at 6 MPa and one
open feedwater heater operates at 2 MPa followed by reheat at 2 MPa to 540 oC. Condensate
from the closed feedwater heater is trapped into the open feedwater heater and the feedwater
leaves at 18 MPa with a temperature equal to the saturation temperature at the extraction
pressure. Each turbine stage has an isentropic efficiency of 92% and each pump has an
isentropic efficiency of 87%.(Wcycle =1205.84 kJ/kg; 41.4%)
