 1 - 14.) A reheat cycle with 5 stages of reheating is executed with expanding initially from
22 MPa and 800 deg C. The reheater pressures 10.4879 MPa, 6.2873 MPa, 0.9013 MPa,
17.8101 MPa, and 6.508 MPa and the steam leaves each reheater at 800 deg C. Steam
is bled in between 5 reheating sessions at a pressure equal to regen
20.551 MPa, 18.4973 MPa, 11.1317 MPa, 1.4635 MPa, and 8.6903 MPa into 5 open
feedwater heaters with the operating pressures. Condensation occurs at 0.0644 MPa. If
brake efficiency is 90% and generator efficiency Is 75%. For 10 kg/sec of working
substance circulated, answer the following, and fill up the blanks in the items below:
Find:

1. Schematic and T – S diagram of the cycle

with complete labels
2. List of all ideal and actual enthalpies in
kJ/kg
3. Ideal Rankine Cycle efficiency in %
4. Ideal Rankine Engine efficiency in %
5. Ideal Total Heat Added in kW
6. Ideal Heat Rejected in kW
7. Ideal Total Work Turbine in kW
8. Ideal Total Work Pump in kW
9. Ideal Energy Chargeable in kW
10. Ideal Cycle Steam Rate in kg/kWh
11. Brake power in hp
12. Generator power in hp
13. Combine Work/Plant Capacity in kW
14. The amount of cooling water needed by
the condenser in kg/sec if cooling water
enters the condenser at 10 deg C and leaves
at 35 deg C.
