Steam enters the turbine of a Rankine cycle at 16 MPa, 560oC. The condenser pressure is 8 kPa.

Steam enters the turbine of a Rankine cycle at 16 MPa, 560oC. The condenser pressure is 8 kPa.The turbine and pump each have isentropic efficiencies of 85%, and the mass flow rate of steamentering the turbine is 120 kg/s. Determinea. The net power developed, in kWb. The rate of heat transfer to the steam passing through the boiler, in kWc. The thermal efficiency

Solution:State 1:Steam inlet pressure is 16 MPa and temperature is 560 ⁰C State 2:Since its process is isentropic: Hence at pressure 8KPa Hence State 3:Pressure is 8KPa, saturated liquid...
