QUESTION 1: Vapour Power Cycle A Rankine cycle uses water as its working fluid. The mass flow rate of water through the cycle is 150 kg/s. Superheated vapour exits the boiler at 8 MPa and 560 C. The condenser pressure is 8 kPa. The water at the pump inlet is 35 C. The isentropic efficiency of the pump is 75% and the isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 91%. The turbine and pump can be treated as adiabatic. The pressure drops of the working fluid as it follows through the boiler and through the condenser are negligible. Kinetic and potential energy effects can also be ignored. For your analysis use the state point numbering scheme indicated in the following schematic: www Turbine W Boiler Qout Cooling water Pump Condenser Do the following: I. Draw the state points on a T-s diagram. Take care to locate each point in the correct region: superheated, mixed and subcooled.
