Problem: Analyze the performance of the ideal steam Rankine cycle with the four SSSF components. Use the ideal assumptions for each component. The overall cycle power is 800 MW. There are no changes in kinetic and potential energy. Use the following table to identify the states. State 1 corresponds to the steam leaving the boiler. State T (°C) p (bar) v (m³/kg) h (kJ/kg) 1 560 100 2 3 4 0.4 0.4 100 s (kJ/kg-K) Phase x=0 Determine: (a) Draw the Rankine cycle schematic. (b) The mass flow rate m [kg/s]. (c) The heat transfer rates [MJ/s] for the condenser and boiler. (d) The power [MW] for the turbine and pump. (e) The entropy production rates [MW/K] for each of the four processes. (f) The Rankine cycle coefficient of performance. (g) Plot the states on the following T-s diagram. Label each state clearly and draw the process path with an arrow.
