Steam is supplied to a turbine at 50Bar, 400oC. It expands in the first stage until it is dry saturated and then reheated to 400oC before expanding in the second stage to a condenser pressure of 0.05 Bar. Calculate the work output, Specific Steam Consumption (SSC) and the Rankine efficiency Compare these values with those obtained by a single stage expansion without reheat. Note - Neglect feed pump work

Consider a vapor power cycle as shown below. Steam enters the first turbine stage at 12 MP a, 480 oC, and expands to 2 MP a. Some steam is extracted at 2 MP a and fed to the closed heater. The remainder expands through the second-stage turbine to 0.3 MP a, where an additional amount is extracted and fed into the open heater operating at 0.3 MP a. The steam expanding through the third-stage turbine enters the condenser at a...

Steam enters the nozzle of an impulse turbine stage at 60 bar and 500 °C and leaves at 20 bar. Flow is adiabatic and reversible. The nozzle angle is 20°. The moving blade is symmetric, travels at optimum velocity, and assumed to be frictionless. It is also assumed that there is neither expansion nor contraction of the steam flow through the blade passage. Draw the velocity diagram and calculate (a) the blade efficiency and (b) the stage efficiency.

The velocity of steam leaving the nozzle of a single-stage impulse turbine is 813 m/sec. The nozzle angle is 20° and the blade speed corresponds to maximum blade efficiency. The moving blade is symmetric, assumed to be frictionless, and there is neither expansion nor contraction of the steam flow through the blade passage. Draw the velocity diagram and determine the relative velocity of steam leaving the blade.
