A simple Rankine cycle uses water as the working fluid. The boiler operates and the condenser are given below. At the entrance to the turbine, the temperature is T3. The water leaving the condenser is saturated liquid. The boiler is sized for a mass flow rate as given below. Determine using the values provided in the table below for each student: (a) the rate at which heat is added in the boiler (b)the power required to operate the pumps (c) the net power produced by the cycle (d)the thermal efficiency Boiler Pressure [MPa] =4.5 Condenser Pressure [kPa] = 30 T3 = 500 C Mass flow rate [kg/s] =10 A simple Rankine cycle uses water as the working fluid.
