2070 AshadhChapter 7: Thermal (Steam) Power Plant7.1 Rankine Cycle
On a regenerative cycle, steam leaves the boiler and enters the turbine at 4 MPa, 400°C. After expansion to 400 kPa, some of the steam is extracted from the turbine to heat the feedwater in an open feedwater heater. The pressure in the feedwater heater is 400 kPa, and the water leaving it is saturated liquid at 400 kPa. The steam not extracted expands to 100 kPa. Determine the cycle efficiency.
