In a Reheat Cycle steam enters the turbine @ 40 bar and 400 C. It expands isentropic ally to 6 bar and is reheated at constant pressure to 400 C. This steam expanded isentropic ally to 1 bar and is reheated at constant pressure to 200 C. Finally this steam is expanded isentropic ally in the condenser pressure of 0.1 bar. Determine the thermal efficiency and the capacity of the boiler if 10,000 KW of power output is required.
Step: Evaluate the performance of Refrigerator 2.Refrigerator 2 is a refrigerator that operates as an ideal vapor refrigeration cycle, and uses theSame refrigerant and evaporation and condensing temperatures as Refrigerator 1.In Cooler 2, the working fluid must be admitted by the compressor only in the form of vaporsaturated, and must leave the compressor in the form of superheated steam with enthalpy equal to 1640 kJ/kg.Differently from Refrigerator 1, the cycle operates with an expansion valve (isenthalpic process).For this 2nd step, you must determine the following design parameters:a) The rate of cooling and the rate of heat rejection in the condenser.b) The power of the compressor;c) The COP of the cycle.For the energy balance, make the following considerations:- Permanent regime;- Variation of kinetic and potential energy are negligible;- Compressor and expansion valve operate adiabatically;- Evaporation and condensation steps do not involve work. Please, make it typeable,…
