The following T-s diagram represents an ideal Rankine cycle with reheating. What is the thermal efficiency of this Rankine cycle? $\eta_{Rankine} = ((h_2 - h_3) + (h_1 - h_4)) / (h_2 - h_1)$ $\eta_{Rankine} = ((h_2 - h_3) - (h_1 - h_4)) / ((h_3 - h_2) + (h_5 - h_4))$ $\eta_{Rankine} = ((h_3 - h_4) - (h_2 - h_1) + (h_5 - h_6)) / ((h_3 - h_2) + (h_5 - h_4))$ none of the above

Show the ideal Rankine cycle with three stages of reheating on a $T-s$ diagram. Assume the turbine inlet temperature is the same for all stages. How does the cycle efficiency vary with the number of reheat stages?
An ideal Rankine cycle with reheat uses water as the working fluid. The conditions at the inlet to the first-stage turbine are $p_{1}=16 \mathrm{MPa}, T_{1}=520^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The steam is reheated at constant pressure $p$ between the turbine stages to $520^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The condenser pressure is $6 \mathrm{kPa}$. (a) If $p / p_{1}=0.4$, determine the cycle thermal efficiency and the steam quality at the exit of the second-stage turbine. (b) Plot the quantities of part (a) versus the pressure ratio $p / p_{1}$ ranging from $0.04$ to $1.0$.
