Consider a steam power plant operating on the simple ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 15 MPa and 600°C. The steam condenses in the condenser at 10 kPa. Use the EES software to study the effects of the following cases on the cycle performance and to sketch the T-s diagram for each case:

#Plot the variation of the cycle thermal efficiency with the turbine isentropic efficiency. Take the isentropic efficiency of the turbine in the range 70% to 100%.

#If the cycle is modified to the ideal reheat Rankine cycle with the same pressure limits and same maximum temperature, Plot the variation of the steam quality at the turbine exit and the thermal efficiency with the reheat pressure. Take the range of the reheat pressure from 3 to 8 MPa.

#If the cycle is modified to the ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with the same pressure limits and same maximum temperature, plot the variation of the thermal efficiency with the extraction (bleeding) pressure ranging from 1 to 3 MPa, with a step of 0.5 MPa.

#The heat is supplied to the boiler from a heat source (e.g. furnace) of a constant temperature. For the same pressure limits and same maximum temperature of the cycle, plot the variation of the second law efficiency with the heat source temperature ranging from 700 to 1200 K. In addition, show the variations of the exergy destroyed in each component of the cycle (boiler, turbine, condenser, pump) with the heat source temperature and identify the rooms of improvement in the second-law efficiency.

You student should submit a detailed report of your results supported with plots and conclusions. Moreover, the EES code used in the study should be included in the report. A soft copy of the report and the EES code are to be submitted through the course blackboard.
