Problem points Water is the working fluid in a Rankine cycle modified to include one closed feedwater heater and one open feedwater heater. Superheated vapor enters the turbine at MPa C and the condenser pressure is kPa The mass flow rate of steam entering the firststage turbine is The closed feedwater heater uses extracted steam at MPa and the open feedwater heater uses extracted steam at MPa Saturated liquid condensate drains from the closed feedwater heater at MPa and is trapped into the open feedwater heater. The feedwater leaves the closed heater at MPa and a temperature equal to the saturation temperature at MPa Saturated liquid leaves the open heater at MPa The isentropic efficiencies of the turbine stages and pumps are Determine
a the net power developed, in kW
b the rate of heat transfer to the steam passing through the steam generator, in kW
c the thermal efficiency. outcome
d the mass flow rate of condenser cooling water, in if the cooling water undergoes a temperature increase of C with negligible pressure change in passing through the condenser.
