ANSWERS GIVEN..... Energy System Question - Please show full steps for good ratings!!
Q4(20%). Consider a regenerative vapor power cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam
enters the turbine at 8.0MPa,480^(@)C and expands to 0.7 MPa , where some of the steam is
extracted and diverted to the open feedwater heater operating at 0.7 MPa . The remaining steam
expands through the second-stage turbine to the condenser pressure of 0.008 MPa . Saturated
liquid exits the open feedwater heater at 0.7 MPa . The isentropic efficiency of each turbine stage
is 85% and each pump operates isentropically. If the net power output of the cycle is 100 MW ,
determine (a) the thermal efficiency and (b) the mass flow rate of steam entering the first turbine
stage, in kg//h.
ANSWERS: 37%,3.67kg//h
