A power plant operates on a regenerative vapor power cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam enters the first turbine stage at 12 MPa, 560°C and expands to 1 MPa, where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to the open feedwater heater operating at 1 MPa. The remaining steam expands through the second turbine stage to the condenser pressure of 28 kPa. Saturated liquid exits the open feedwater heater at 1 MPa. The net power output for the cycle is 330 MW. Assume that both turbine stages and both pumps have an isentropic efficiency of 75%.
Determine:
(a) the percent cycle thermal efficiency.
(b) the mass flow rate into the first turbine stage, in kg/s.
(c) the rate of entropy production in the open feedwater heater, in kW/K.

A steam power plant operates on a regenerative Rankine
cycle with two feedwater heaters, one closed and one open. Steam
enters the turbine at 12.5 MPa and 550ºC and exhausts to the
condenser at 10 kPa. Steam is extracted from the turbine at 1 MPa
for the closed feedwater heater and 0.8 MPa for the open one. The
feedwater is heated to the condensation temperature of the
extracted steam in the closed feedwater heater. The extracted steam
leaves the closed...

4. Consider a reheat–regenerative vapor power cycle with two
feedwater heaters, a closed feedwater heater and an open feedwater
heater. Steam enters the first turbine at 12.0 MPa, 520C and
expands to 0.6 MPa. The steam is reheated to 440C before entering
the second turbine, where it expands to the condenser pressure of
0.006 MPa. Steam is extracted from the first turbine at 2 MPa and
fed to the closed feedwater heater. Feedwater leaves the closed
heater at 200C and...

Consider a regenerative vapor power cycle with two feedwater
heaters, a closed one and an open one, and reheat. Steam enters the
first turbine stage at 12 MPa, 560 °C, and expands to 1.5 MPa. Some
steam is extracted at 1.5 MPa and fed to the closed feedwater

A steam power plant operates on a regenerative Rankine cycle.
Steam enters the turbine at 6 MPa at 700 ºC and the condenser at 10
kPa. Turbine has isentropic efficiency of 85% and pumps have
isentropic efficiency of 90%. Steam is extracted from the turbine
at 0.6 MPa to heat the feedwater in an open feedwater heater. Water
leaves the open feedwater heater as saturated liquid.

A regenerative cycle with one stage of
reheating is executed with steam expanding initially from 20 Mpaa
and 540 deg C. The reheater pressure is 10 Mpaa. The steam leaves
the reheater at 540 deg C. Steam is bled after reheating to one
CFWH and on one OFWH a pressure equal to 5 Mpaa and...
