You are to required to design a steam power cycle that must operate in the parameter space defined below. Final designs should be as close to the desired operating conditions as possible. You are to prepare an engineering report that clearly articulates your design and its analysis and should include, but is not limited to reporting on the following:

Thermodynamic principles and theory that describe the operation of your design

Analysis, including calculations of you design and the final cycle thermal efficiency, work output, required inputs and heat rejection requirements

Complete specification of the state of the working fluid at all points in the cycle

All system figures, T-s and P-v diagrams, correctly and adequately labelled such that all technical information is clearly conveyed

Max cycle thermal efficiency: 50%

Isentropic efficiency of the turbine: 80%

Isentropic efficiency of the pump: 75%

Max operating pressure: 15000kPa

Max quality at turbine exit: 0.95

Design a steam power plant that works as an ideal Regenerative Rankine cycle with 2 closed feedwater heaters cascaded backwards by selecting their extraction pressures to optimize cycle efficiency. The available steam conditions at the exit of the boiler are 3 MPa and 590 °C and the condenser pressure is 20 kPa. The steam flow rate at the inlet of the turbine is 80 kg/s. A T-s diagram for the cycle should be provided along with a table showing the...

A proposed steam power plant design consists of an ideal Rankine cycle with reheat and regeneration. Steam enters Turbine 1 at P1 and T1 at the rate of m1 and exits at P2. A fraction (y') of the steam exiting Turbine 1 is diverted to an open feedwater heater while the remainder is reheated to T3 before entering Turbine 2. The condenser operates at P4. Saturated liquid exits the condenser and is fed to Pump 1. The outlet of Pump...

Consider a steam power plant operating on a simple ideal Rankine cycle in which the steam enters the turbine at 3 MPa and 350C and is condensed in the condenser at 75 kPa. Determine the thermal efficiency of this cycle and sketch an appropriately labeled T-s diagram. Also compare this thermal efficiency to that a Carnot heat engine operating between these same two limits. The change in enthalpy across the pump = work done by the pump: h2-h1= v1(P2– P1)

A steam power plant operates on the simple ideal rankine cycle. the steam enters the turbine at 4 MPa and 500 C and leaves it at 50 kPa and 150 C. the water leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid and is subsequently displaced to the boiler by means of a pump at a temperature of 85 C, which is the isentrophic efficiency of the turbine?
