QUIZ NO. 3 (100%) REGENERATIVE CYCLE WITH OPEN HEATERS:

IMPORTANT Note : Make a summary of your answers. You may fill up this page or maybe handwritten
per item number.

A reheat cycle with two stages of reheating is executed with steam expanding initially from 200
bar (20 Mpaa) and 540 deg C. The 2 reheater pressures are 40 bar (4 Mpaa) and 10 bar (1
Mpaa) and the steam leaves each reheater at 540 deg C. Steam is bled in between two
reheating sessions at a pressure equal to 20 and 15 bars into 2 open feedwater heaters.
Condensation occurs at 60 deg C. All expansion and compression efficiencies are 93 %. There
is a total of 6+ (SN/25) kg/sec of steam circulated in the cycle.

Answer the following: fill up the blanks in the items below:

1. Equipment layout and TS diagram for the cycle

2. Actual mass of steam bled into the open heater m1’= ______1.0016_______kg/kg for
the heater nearest to the SGU/boiler and m2’ = __________0.4715___________kg/sec
for the heater nearest to the condenser.
3. Actual turbine work in KW Answer: ________6498.17 KW_____________
4. Energy Chargeable (actual) Answer: __________18602.64 KW_____________
5. Ideal Rankine engine efficiency % Answer: __________42.85%____________
6. Actual Rankine cycle efficiency % Answer: _________34.81%__________
7. If the generator efficiency = 95%, brake engine efficiency = 90% what is the plant
capacity in MW? Answer: _______5.556MW__________
8. If Cp water = 4.187 KJ/kg-K; cooling water enters the condenser at 10 deg C and leaves
at 21 deg C, find amount of cooling water needed by the condenser in kg/sec. (ACTUAL)
Answer: _________288.99 kg/sec__________
9. Combined Heat Rate in KJ/KW-hr Answer: _________3.771 KW____________
10. Speed of the turbine shaft in rev per minute if Torque measured by the dynamometer=
5.92 KN-m. Answer:______ 157.23 ___________
