A power plant operating in a Reheat Rankine Cycle produces steam at 3 MPa, 600°C in the boiler. It keeps the condenser at 45°C by transfer of 10 MW out as heat transfer. The first turbine section (high- pressure) expands to 500 kPa and then flow is reheated followed by the expansion in the low-pressure turbine. 1. Draw the Ts Diagram 2. Determine the values of enthalpy for each state. 3. Compute for the Pump work input (kJ/kg) 4. Solve for the High-Pressure and Low-Pressure Turbines work output (kJ/kg) 5. Determine the mass flow rate (kg/s) 6. Find the boiler heat transfer including the reheat process (kW) 7. Show how much is the net power output (kW) QH Boiler cb 3 Turbine H 6 Condenser WT
