Steam at 4800 lbf/in.2, 1000 deg F enters the first stage of a supercritical reheat cycle including two turbine stages. The steam exiting the first-stage turbine at 600 lbf/in.2 is reheated at constant pressure to 1000 deg F. Each turbine stage and the pump have an isentropic efficiency of 85%. The condenser pressure is 1 lbf/in.2 If the net power output of the cycle is 100 MW, determine (a) the rate of heat transfer to the working fluid passing through the steam generator, in MW. (b) the rate of heat transfer from the working fluid passing through the condenser, in MW. (c) the cycle thermal efficiency.

In a cogeneration system, a Rankine cycle operates with steam entering the turbine at 800 lb/in.², 700°F, and a condenser pressure of 180 lb/in.² The isentropic turbine efficiency is 90%. Energy rejected by the condensing steam is transferred to a separate process stream of water entering at 250°F, 140 lb/in.2 and exiting as saturated vapor at 140 lb/in.2 The mass flow rate of the process stream is 48,000 lb/h. Let To -70°F, po - 14.7 lb//in.² Step 1 Determine the mass flow rate for the working fluid of the Rankine cycle, in lb/h. mcycle Step 2 Hint W Your answer is correct. cycle = 54852.5 Determine the net power output for the cycle, in Btu/h.

Water is the working fluid in a Rankine cycle. Steam exits the steam generator at 1500 lbf/in.2 and 1100°F. Due to heat transfer and frictional effects in the line connecting the steam generator and turbine, the pressure and temperature at the turbine inlet are reduced to 1400 lbf/in.² and 1000°F, respectively. Both the turbine and pump have isentropic efficiencies of 95%. Pressure at the condenser inlet is 2 lbf/ in.2, but due to frictional effects the condensate exits the condenser at a pressure of 1.5 lbf/in.² and a temperature of 110°F. The condensate is pumped to 1600 lbf/in.² before entering the steam generator. The net power output of the cycle is 5.5 x 108 Btu/h. Cooling water experiences a temperature increase from 60°F to 76°F, with negligible pressure drop, as it passes through the condenser. Determine for the cycle: (a) the mass flow rate of steam, in lb/h. (b) the rate of heat transfer, in Btu/h, to the working fluid passing through the steam generator. (c) the percent…
