Question

Consider a coal power plant with water as a working fluid that operates on a Rankine cycle. Steam enters the high pressure turbine at 50 MPa and 1100 °C. Steam enters the low pressure turbine at 12.5 MPa and 700 °C. Water leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid at a pressure of 1 kPa. The isentropic efficiency of the high pressure turbine is 100% and the low pressure turbine is 100%. The pump has an isentropic efficiency of 100%.

Step 1

5 MPa, 700 °C). - State 3 to 4: LP turbine inlet (12.5 MPa, 700 °C) expands to condenser pressure (1 kPa) at LP turbine exit state 4. - Condenser exit (state 5): saturated liquid at 1 kPa. - Pump inlet (state 5) to boiler inlet (state 6): compression from 1 kPa to Show more…
