Question:

Reconsider Prob. 10–34. How much does the thermal efficiency of the cycle change when the temperature at the entrance to the low-pressure turbine is increased to 550°C?

Data From Q#34:

Consider a steam power plant that operates on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle. The plant maintains the boiler at 17.5 MPa, the reheater at 2 MPa, and the condenser at 50 kPa. The temperature is 550°C at the entrance of the high-pressure turbine, and 300°C at the entrance of the low-pressure turbine. Determine the thermal efficiency of this system.
