Reheat Rankine Cycle

Question 1
A steam power plant operates on the reheat Rankine cycle. The boiler and condenser
operate on 10 MPa and 10 kPa, respectively while the reheat section operates on 3 MPa.
Steam enters hih press!re t!rbine at ""0 #$ and is e%panded to hih press!re t!rbine.
The o!tlet o& this t!rbine is &ed to the reheat section with o!tlet temperat!re o& "00 #$.
'oth t!rbines and p!mp operate with adiabatic e&&iciency o& (0). *& the power plant
prod!ces net work o& 10
"
M+, determine,
the condenser d!ty
the total heatin d!ty
Question 2
A steam power plant operates on the reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the hih-
press!re t!rbine at 1.." MPa and ""0 #$ at a rate o& /./ k0s and leaves at . MPa. Steam
is then reheated at constant press!re to 1"0 #$ be&ore it e%pands in the low-press!re
t!rbine. The isentropic e&&iciencies o& the t!rbine and the p!mp are (" percent and 20
percent, respectively. Steam leaves the condenser as sat!rated li3!id. Sketch the cycle on
the T-s diaram &or steam. *& the moist!re content o& the steam at the e%it o& the second
t!rbine is not to e%ceed " percent, determine,
4a5 the condenser press!re
4b5 the net power o!tp!t
4c5 the thermal e&&iciency
Question 3
$onsider a steam power plant that operates on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle. The plant
maintains the boiler at /000 kPa, the reheat section at (00 kPa, and the condenser at 10
kPa. The mi%t!re 3!ality at the e%it o& both the t!rbines is 23 percent. Sketch the cycle on
the T-s diaram &or steam. 6etermine the temperat!re at the inlet o& each o& the t!rbine
and the cycle7s thermal e&&iciency.
