Given an ideal steam regenerative cycle in which steam enters the turbine at 3.0 MPa, 400 oC, and exhausts to the condenser at 10 kPa. Steam is extracted from the turbine at 0.8 MPa for an open feedwater heater. The feedwater leaves the heater as saturated liquid. The net power is 45 MW. Assume any missing data. Draw a neat sketch for the cycle flow diagram showing all states
. Draw the T-s diagram.
Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
Calculate the steam mass flow rate (in kg/s).
Calculate the total power to the two pumps.
Calculate the mass flow rate of the cooling water in the condenser if its temperature rise is 9 oC.
