    1) A steam generator is a boiler that also includes a super heater to superheat the steam produced. Feedwater heaters increase the efficiency of a power plant by using exhaust steam to preheat feedwater before it enters the boiler. 2) The diagram shows an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with an open feedwater heater. In this cycle, feedwater is heated by exhaust steam between states 1 and 2 before entering the boiler. 3) The diagram also shows how a closed feedwater heater can be incorporated into the Rankine cycle. With a closed heater, feedwater is heated between states 6 and 7 by exhaust steam from the turbine.

    Steam generator = boiler + super heater ... without reheater

    v u h s

    T=500C
    without
    reheating
    Purpose of feedwater heaters:
    To increase plant efficiency by decreasing
    heat losses to the condenser
    The ideal regenerative Rankine
    cycle with open feedwater
    heater.
    State 6:

    State 2:

    State 3:
    The ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with
    a closed feedwater heater.
    Closed
    Feedwater
    Heater
    Solution:

    saturated liquid
    P1=0.1 bar & sat. liquid : h1=191.8 kJ/kg
    saturated liquid
    P3=5 bar & sat. liquid : h3=640.2 kJ/kg
    superheated

    P5=30 bar, T5=500˚C : h5=3456.5 kJ/kg

    P6=5 bar, s6=s5=7.2338 kJ/kg.K : S6>Sg6


    or x6>1 (superheated) & h6=2941.6 kJ/kg

    P7=0.1 bar, s7=s5 : x7=0.88 & h7=2292.7 kJ/kg


    wet region

    = 0.5 kJ/kg  h2=h1+wp1=192.3 kJ/kg
