Assignment 3

Engineering Equation Solver (EES)

Its a group assignment and size of group can be maximum of 3 students.
Assignment has two parts.

Part-I

Write system equations for the ideal Rankine cycle in EES as per given example

Add isentropic efficiencies to the model equations of 85% for both pump and turbine.
For 100% isentropic efficiencies, do parametric study and plot changes of different
quantities for
o Lowering condenser pressure
o Increasing steam temperature in Super-heated region
o Increasing Boiler pressure
Submission: In the form of report on 5th December, 2016

Part-II

Write equations for Assignment-2 and compare its efficiency with an ideal Rankine cycle
system having condenser pressure at 10kPa, boiler pressure at 15MPa and turbine inlet
temperature of 600OC
Do a parametric study, changing all the intermediate pressures to figure out which
configuration gives maximum efficiency.
