A steam reheat cycle plant produces steam at 30bar and 610oC in
the boiler. The condenser (a heat exchanger) at 45oC transfers of
8,600kW of heat to the coolant. The first turbine section expands
the super-saturated steam to 5bar before reheating the steam. The
second turbine is a low-pressure turbine and receives the re-heated
steam and outputs it as a 95% dry saturated vapour. Both turbines
are cascaded and geared to power and electric motor to supply an
iron smelting factory. (a) Develop the analytical model that can
help you calculate the key parameters of this plant. Your model
should consider all possible. Ensure you sketch the plant and state
necessary assumptions. (b) Discuss this plant (using quantitative
data based on your model developed in (a)).
