REHEAT CYCLE

FORMULAS:

Heat Added

kJ
QA = (h1 – h6) + (h3 – h2) kg

QA = mS [(h1 – h6) + (h3 – h2)] kW

Turbine Work

kJ
WT = (h1 – h2) + (h3 – h4) kg

WT = mS [(h1 – h2) + (h3 – h4)] kW

Pump Work

kJ
WP = (h6 – h5) kg

WP = mS (h6 – h5) kW
kJ
WP = ṽ5 (P6 – P5) kg

h6 = ṽ5 (P6 – P5) + h5

Heat Rejected in the condenser

kJ
QR = (h4 – h5) kg

QR = mS (h4 – h5) kW
