Consider an ideal Rankine cycle modified with the addition of a single reheat stage. The working fluid is H20. The maximum pressure in the cycle is 10MPa, and the temperature of the steam exiting both the boiler and the reheater is 550°C. The pressure in the condenser is 10kPa.

1.Draw the T-s diagram for the following three cases.

a) 4.5MPa (= 0.25Pmax + 2MPA)

b) 2.5MPA (= 0.25Pmax)

c) 0.5MPa (= 0.25Pmax - 2MPA)

2.Calculate the thermal efficiency for the three reheat cycles in part 1
