Question
Task 4: Why we need for superheated steam in the bottoming cycle (Rankine cycle). Task 5: - Calculate the moisture content at the exit of the turbine in the bottoming cycle (Rankine cycle). - Apply the use of tables to establish steam plant efficiency. Task 6: Justify why the Rankine cycle is preferred over the Carnot cycle in steam production plants around the world.

In the used combined gas-steam power cycle, figure 1. The topping cycle is a simple Brayton cycle
that has a pressure ratio of 7. Air enters the compressor at 15°C at a rate of 10 kg/s and the gas
turbine at 950°C. The bottoming cycle is an ideal Rankine cycle between the pressure limits of 6
MPa and 10 kPa. Steam is heated in a heat exchanger at a rate of 1.15 kg/s by the exhaust gases
leaving the gas turbine and the exhaust gases leave the heat exchanger at 200°C.
