In an ideal Rankine cycle, steam is generated at 4.1 MPa and 480C.

The
condenser is at 32C. Determine the ideal pump work and the cycle
thermal efficiency.
P1 = 4.1 MPa
T1 = 480C
T2 = T3 = 32C
s1 = s2
P2 = P3
P1 = P4
P2 is the saturated pressure for 32C.
P2 = 0.004759 MPa
h1 = 3398.1 kJ/kg
s1 = 7.0173 kJ/kgK = s2
At 0.004759 MPa,
sf = 0.4644 kJ/kgK
sfg = 7.9483 kJ/kgK
hf = 134.15 kJ/kg
hfg = 2425.7 kJ/kg
vf = 0.0010050 m3/kg
x2 =
x2 = 0.8244
h2 = hf + x2hfg
h2 = 134.15 + (0.8244)(2425.7)
h2 = 2133.9 kJ/kg
h3 = hf2 = 134.15 kJ/kg
v3 = vf2 = 0.0010050 m3/kg
W p = vf(P4 P3)
W p = (0.0010050 m3/kg)(4100 4.759) kN/m2
Wp = 4.12 kJ/kg
h4 = h 3 + W p
h4 = 134.15 + 4.12
h4 = 138.27 kJ/kg
QA = h1 h4 = 3398.1 138.27
