Question:

Repeat Prob. 10–98 assuming both the pump and the turbine are isentropic.

Data From Q#98:

Consider a steam power plant that operates on a  regenerative Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 150 MW. Steam enters the turbine at 10 MPa and 500°C and  the condenser at 10 kPa. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine  is 80 percent, and that of the pumps is 95 percent. Steam  is extracted from the turbine at 0.5 MPa to heat the feedwater  in an open feedwater heater. Water leaves the feedwater heater as a saturated liquid. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram, and determine

(a) The mass flow rate of steam through the boiler

(b) The thermal efficiency of the cycle. Also, determine the exergy destruction associated with the regeneration process. Assume a source temperature of 1300 K and a sink temperature of 303 K.
