In an ideal Rankine cycle with reheat, superheated steam vapor
enters the turbine at 10 MPa and
480 °C, while the condenser pressure is 6 kPa. Steam expands
through the first-stage turbine to
0.7 MPa and then is reheated to 480 °C
a) Calculate the total heat addition, net work of the cycle, heat
extraction through condenser,
and thermal efficiency of this ideal Rankine cycle with reheat.
[25]
b) Calculate the same quantities assuming that the pump and each
turbine stage have an
isentropic efficiency of 80%. [25]
c) Draw p-v diagrams for these two
cycles
do only part c)
