Question: Problem 5 - 2 . Consider an ideal reheat - regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater. The boiler pressure is 1 2 MPa

Problem 5-2. Consider an ideal reheat-regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater
heater. The boiler pressure is 12 MPa , the condenser pressure is 10 kPa , the reheater pressure
is 1 MPa , and the feedwater pressure is 0.5 MPa . Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at
500\deg C and 12 MPa and expands to 1 MPa . Then it is reheated to 500\deg C. The steam expands in
the second-stage turbine to 0.5 MPa where a fraction is extracted into the feedwater heater and
the remainder expands in the third-stage turbine to the condenser pressure of 10 kPa . Show the
cycle on a T- s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine and determine: (a) the
fraction of steam extracted for regeneration, (b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle and (c) The
rate of exergy destroyed per unit mass for the cycle assuming that the temperatures of the
source and the sink are T_(H)=600\deg C and T_(L)=25\deg C. Problem 5-2. Consider an ideal reheat-regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater. The boiler pressure is 12 MPa , the condenser pressure is 10 kPa , the reheater pressure is 1 MPa , and the feedwater pressure is 0.5 MPa . Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at \(500^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and 12 MPa and expands to 1 MPa . Then it is reheated to \(500^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). The steam expands in the second-stage turbine to 0.5 MPa where a fraction is extracted into the feedwater heater and the remainder expands in the third-stage turbine to the condenser pressure of 10 kPa . Show the cycle on a T- s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine and determine: (a) the fraction of steam extracted for regeneration, (b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle and (c) The rate of exergy destroyed per unit mass for the cycle assuming that the temperatures of the source and the sink are \(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{H}}=600^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and \(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{L}}=25^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\).
