ProblemMarks: for Cleanliness
Consider a regenerative reheat steam power plant with two steam turbines and two closed feedwater heaters FWH as shown in the figure below. The steam enters the highpressure turbine HPT at MPa, The steam is reheated to at MPa before entering the lowpressure turbine LPT The condenser pressure is KPa The pressure of the extracted steam for the highpressure FWH is MPa and for the lowpressure FWH is MPa The terminal temperature difference TTD for both the FWHs is The condensate leaves both the FWHs as saturated liquid. The highpressure heater condensate is throttled into the lowpressure heater, which in turns drains into the condenser through a throttling. The isentropic efficiencies are for the HPT for the LPT and for the boiler feed pump. The relevant Ts diagram is provided following the flow diagram.
Determine:
a the mass mass fractions of steam into both FWHs
b the net work output, in
c the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
