Problem: Rankine Cycle Analysis

Steam at $150$ bar, $550C$ is expanded in an h$.$p$.$ turbine to $20$ bar when it is reheated to $500C$

and expanded in i$.$p$.$ and $1.$p$.$ turbines to condenser pressure of $0\mathrm{.}075$ bar. There are five

feedwater heaters, one extraction from h$.$p$.$ turbine at $50$ bar, $3$ from i$.$p$.$ turbine at $10$ bar, $5$ bar

and $3$ bar, and one from $1.$p$.$ turbine at $1\mathrm{.}5$ bar. The middle heater is the deaerator, and all others

are closed heaters.

Draw schematic and cycle diagram clearly

Assuming ideal conditions and analyze the power plant to determine:

$($a$)$ the cycle efficiency

$($b$)$ the feedwater temperature at inlet to the steam generator

$($c$)$ the steam rate

$($d$)$ the heat rate

$($e$)$ the quality of steam at turbine exhaust

$($f$)$ the power output if the steam flow rate is $300\frac{t}{h}.$

Take TTD $=0$ for all the heaters.

Submission Guidelines:

Include all assumptions made during calculations.

Use proper units and SI conventions throughout the assignment.

Submit the assignment in soft copy formats with neat handwritten document, with clear

diagrams and T$-$s$/$P$-$v plots where necessary
