Question

Consider a regenerative cycle (see figure below) using steam as the working fluid. Steam enters the turbine at 16MPa, 600C, and is condensed in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kPa. Some steam leaves the turbine at a pressure of 1 MPa and enters the open feewater heater. Determine the fraction of steam extracted from the turbine and the thermal efficiency of the cycle.


Consider a regenerative cycle (see figure below) using steam as the working fluid. Steam enters the turbine at 16MPa, 600½C, and is condensed in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kPa. Some steam leaves the turbine at a pressure of 1 MPa and enters the open feewater heater. Determine the fraction of steam extracted from the turbine and the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
