A steam powerplant operating on an ideal Rankine Cycle is operating at a boiler pressure of 5.75MPa, steam enters the turbine at 500°C and expands to 147kPa. If the powerplant is producing 5MW of energy find the following:
The ideal Rankyne cycle refers to issentropic expansion in turbine and issentropic pump work.
using steam table ,we can calculate enthapy and entropy at each point.
hence we can find all asked values at specified points.
see below complete solution.
