    This document summarizes the calculation of the net work and thermal efficiency of a Rankine cycle power plant. P1 is 0.5 bar and P2 is 30 bar. The pump work is 3035.55 kJ/kg and increases the enthalpy from 340 kJ/kg to 343.04 kJ/kg. In the turbine, the enthalpy decreases from 3231 kJ/kg to 2407.54 kJ/kg, providing an output work of 823.46 kJ/kg. The net work is 820.42 kJ/kg. The thermal efficiency is calculated as the net work divided by the heat input, which is 28.4%.

    Q5 Solution

    P1=0.5bar = 50kPa
    P2=30bar = 3000kPa
    h1 (P=0.5bar) = h1 (P = 50kPa) = 340 kJ/kg

    pump work calculation:


    note: 0.4736bar = 47.36kPa

    −3 m3
    vf@0.5bar  vf@0.4736bar = 1.029 ×10
    kg
    J kJ
    pump work = 1.029 ×10 ( 3000 ×10 −50× 10 )=3035.55
    −3 3 3
    =3.04
    kg kg
    h2 = h1 + pump work = 340+3.04 = 343.04 kJ/kg

    h3(3000kPa, T=400C) = 3231 kJ/kg


    s3 = 6.921 kJ/kgK
    s3 = s4 (isentropic turbine)
    s4 = sf4 +sfg4
    6.921 = 1.091 + x (6.502)
    x = 0.897 (3dps)
    h4 = hf4 + x.hfg4
    h4 = 340 +(0.897)(2304.95) 2407.54 kJ/kg
    qin = h3 – h2 = (3231 - 343.04) = 2887.96 kJ/kg
    wout = h3 - h4 = (3231 - 2407.54) = 823.46 kJ/kg

    wnet = wturbine,out – wpump,in = 823.46 – 3.04 = 820.42kJ/kg


    wnet 820.42
    Thermal Efficiency =  = = =0.28 4=28. 4 %
