Question 2: In a steam power plant operating according to the ideal intermediate superheated Rankine cycle, water vapor enters the high pressure turbine at 8 MPa pressure and 500 oC temperature and expands to 3 MPa pressure. Then, the steam is re-heated to a temperature of 500 oC in the boiler and expands to 20 kPa condenser pressure in the low pressure turbine.
I. Show the cycle in the T-s diagram and explain for what purpose intermediate superheating is done.
II. Calculate the total turbine work.
III. Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
