    The document describes a Rankine cycle steam power plant that operates between pressure limits of 3 MPa and 50 kPa, with steam at 300°C entering the turbine at a mass flow rate of 35 kg/s. It asks the reader to: (1) draw the cycle on a T-s diagram with saturation lines; (2) calculate the thermal efficiency which is 38.2%; and (3) determine the net power output of the plant.

    EXAMPLES ON VAPOUR POWER CYCLES

    RANKINE CYCLE

    10–15 A steam power plant operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle between the
    pressure limits of 3 MPa and 50 kPa. The temperature of the steam at the turbine inlet is
    300°C, and the mass flow rate of steam through the cycle is 35 kg/s. Show the cycle on a
    T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine (a) the thermal efficiency of
    the cycle and (b) the net power output of the power plant.

    For a Carnot cycle working between the same low and high temperatures, the thermal
    efficiency is: 1-TL/TH = 1- (81.3 + 273)/ (300 + 273) = 0.382 = 38.2 %
