An ideal Rankine steam cycle modified with two closed feedwater heaters and one open feedwater heater is
Question:
(a) Sketch the T-s diagram for the ideal cycle.
(b) Determine the fraction of mass y extracted for the open feedwater heater.
(c) If, in addition to your result from part (b), the fraction of mass entering the high pressure turbine at state 7 extracted for the closed feedwater heater operating at 140 kPa is z = 0.0655, and at 1910 kPa the extraction fraction is w = 0.0830, determine the cooling water temperature rise in the condenser, in °C, when the cooling water flow rate is 4200 kg/s. Assume cp 5 4.18 kJ/kg·K for cooling water.
(d) Determine the rate of heat rejected in the condenser and the thermal efficiency of the plant.
