NOTE: In the problem below subscript “s” refers to “isentropic”, and subscript “a” refers to “actual”.
A regenerative Rankine cycle power plant with one open FWH has water as the working fluid. The turbine
and the pump have an isentropic efficiency of 85%.
Superheated vapor enters the turbine (State 1) at 16 MPa and 560°C (h1=3465.4 kJ/kg).
Some steam (fraction y) is extracted from the turbine (State 2) at 1 MPa (h2s=2745.1 kJ/kg, s2a=6.7451
kJ/kg.K) and sent to the open FWH.
The rest of the steam is expanded in the turbine to 8 kPa (State 3) and delivered to the condenser.
Saturated liquid at 8 kPa leaves the condenser (State 4) (h4=173.88 kJ/kg) and enters Pump#1.
At the exit of Pump #1 (State 5) the enthalpy is: h5=175.06 kJ/kg.
Saturated liquid at 1 MPa exits the FWH (State 6) (h6=762.81 kJ/kg).
Water enters the boiler (State 7) with an enthalpy of h7a=782.7 kJ/kg.
The flow rate through the boiler is 120 kg/s.
