Rankine cycle experiment:

5000ml water consumed in experiment used

Time (sec): 1055

Boiler, Temp (c): 167.199

Turbine In, Temp (c):109.3

Turbine ex, Temp (c): 97.79

Boiler Pres, (KPa) : 721.315

Turbine In Pres, (KPa): 85.639

Turbine Ex Pres, (KPa): 32.826

Fuel flow, (L/Min):5.842

Generator, (RPM): 1949.185

Voltage (volts): 7.443

Current (Amps): 0.135

Power (Watts): 1.002

Calculate:

1.Mass flow rate of water/ steam in the closed cycle.

2. Specific work generated by the turbine.

3. Power generated by the turbine.

4. Heat rejected to cooling system by the condenser.

5. Specific work into the pump.

6. Heat flux introduced by the boiler

Please Help me, Ive posted this question a few times,and I don't understand why they use turbine inlet pressure instead of the boiler pressure.

Whats also confusing me is how they get h1 ,h2,h3 and h4 from the tables if the figures do not correspond.

Id really appreciate it if someone can properly explain this to me.

A Rankine cycle with reheat produces 1 MW of net power. The boiler operates at 15 MPa and has an outlet temperature of 800 K. The condenser operates at atmospheric pressure (1 atm). The operating point of this cycle is such that the water exiting the low pressure turbine has no liquid present to prevent damageto the turbine (hint: what does this say about quality at this point?). Assume the pump and second turbine stage are both isentropic, but the...
