Rankine cycle operates on boiler pressure 15 MPa and condenser pressure of 30 kPa. Superheated steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 450°C. The high-pressure turbine expands the steam and enters the re-heater at 2.5 MPa. The steam is reheated until temperature reaches 450°C before being expanded in low-pressure turbine to condenser pressure of 30 kPa. Assume the isentropic efficiency of the low-pressure and high-pressure turbines are 94% and 89% respectively, and pump is working isentropically. Neglect the change in kinetic...
