A steam power plant working on a simple ideal Rankine cycle between the pressure limits 85 atm and 40 kN/m. The temperature of the steam at the turbine inlet 655. The mass flow rate of steam through the cycle is 52 kes show the cycle on a T-S diagram with respect to the saturation lines and determine:
1)
Show the cycle on a block diagram and a TS diagram with respect to saturation lines
2) The turbine inlet temperature.
3)
The rate heat input in the boiler and the rate of heat output in the condenser 4) The rate of power
5) The thermal efficiency of the turbine
6) the thermal efficiency of the cycle
To calculate all the required answers, we will start by drawing the Ts diagram of given rankine cycle based on the data provided. Then we shall find the enthalpy at all for points of cycle to get work output, heat loss from condenser, boiler heat input etc.
