Question
Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle with
reheat.
Superheated vapor enters the turbine at 10 MPa, 320°C,
and
the condenser pressure is 8 kPa. Steam expands
through the first stage
turbine and then is reheated to 320°C before expanding
in the second stage turbine. Determine for
the cycle
a. the heat addition, in kJ per kg of steam entering the
first-stage
turbine.
b. the optimum reheat pressure which results in
maximum thermal efficiency. i.e. plot eficiency vs
reheat pressure to get the optimum reheat pressure.
Vary the reheat pressure in steps of 1 Mpa initially and
then find the approximate pressure for maximum
efficiency.
find the optimum
pressure.
