Actual Reheat Cycle


BOX ANSWERS OR NO POINTS
Grades = scores/7 answers

An Actual Reheat Cycle with one-stage reheating is executed with steam expanding initially from the throttle at 8 MPa
and 485oC. The steam enters a Reheater at 1.425 MPa, 305 oC. The steam leaves the reheater at 485 oC with a pressure
drop of 425 kPa. The steam leaves the Turbine at 35 oC after 2nd expansion with 95%quality. The condensate is subcooled
by 20o. Turbine mechanical efficiency, 78%; Generator output 40MW at 92% efficiency.

For Actual Engine
(d) Indicated engine efficiency in %
(e) Brake engine efficiency in %
(f) Combined engine efficiency in %
(g) mass flow of steam in kg/h
