Problem Consider a regenerative vapor power cycle with two feedwater heaters, a closed one and an open one, and reheat. Steam enters the first turbine stage at mathrmMPacircmathrmC and expands to MPa The steam then is reheated at MPa to circmathrmC where some steam is extracted at MPa and fed to the closed feedwater heater. The remainder expands through the secondstage turbine to MPa where an additional amount is extracted and fed into the open feedwater heater operating at MPa The steam expanding through the thirdstage turbine exits at the condenser pressure of kPa The condensate of the closed feedwater heater is circmathrmC cooler than the other outlet of the closed feedwater heater Terminal Temperature Difference TTDcircmathrmC and exits at MPa as saturated liquid to be trapped into the open feedwater heater. Saturated liquid at MPa leaves the open feedwater heater. Assume all pumps and turbine stages operate isentropically Determine for the cycle.
a the heat transfer to the working fluid passing through the steam generator, in kJ per kg of steam entering the firststage turbine.
b the thermal efficiency.
c the heat transfer from the working fluid passing through the condenser to the cooling water, in k J per kg of steam entering the firststage turbine.
