Step 1
First, we need to find the specific enthalpy at the boiler. We can use the steam tables to find the specific enthalpy at 6 MPa and 500°C. Let's assume that the specific enthalpy at the boiler is h1 = 3500 kJ/kg. Show more…

Consider a 210-MW steam power plant that operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at $10 \mathrm{MPa}$ and $500^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of $10 \mathrm{kPa}$. Show the cycle on a $T$ -s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine ( $a$ ) the quality of the steam at the turbine exit, $(b)$ the thermal efficiency of the cycle, and $(c)$ the mass flow rate of the steam.
A Rankine cycle with water superheats to $500^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ at 3 MPa in the boiler, and the condenser operates at $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. All components are ideal except the turbine, which has an exit state measured to be saturated vapor at $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Find the cycle efficiency with (a) an ideal turbine and (b) the actual turbine.
A simple ideal Rankine cycle with water as the working fluid operates between the pressure limits of 15 MPa in the boiler and 100 kPa in the condenser. Saturated steam enters the turbine. Determine(a) The power produced by the turbine (kJ/kg)(b) The heat added in the boiler (kJ/kg)(c) The thermal efficiency of the cycle
