Consider a regenerative Rankine cycle with one steam
extraction point using an
open feed-water heater (OFWH).
P at boiler = 5 MPa
T at turbine inlet = 600 0C
P at OFWH = 1 MPa
P at condenser = 10 kPa
All device efficiencies = 1
Solve the problem analytically step by step; find all work
interactions, heat transfers, and
the thermal efficiency.
