A steam power plant has a thermal efficiency of 43% when using the ideal Rankine cycle. As an engineer, you are asked to increase the thermal efficiency to 45% using the ideal regeneration cycle with one open feedwater heater. Show your client a detailed calculation/solution of the things to pay attention to for these two cycles including the arrangement of the devices on the schematic diagram and T-s. Information from Chief Engineer: Boiler pressure 15 MPa. Some steam leaves the turbine at a pressure of 1.2 MPa and condensed at a pressure of 10 kPa. Turbine inlet temperature 600C.
