Sketch cycle on t-s diagram with respect to saturation lines


Water is the working fluid in an ideal vapor power cycle with reheat. Superheated vapor enters the first turbine stage at 8 MPa, 500oC and expands to 2 MPa. Then, it is reheated to 500oC before entering the second turbine stage, where it expands to the condenser pressure of 7.5 kPa. The mass flow rate of steam entering the first turbine stage is 2630 kg/h. Assume a source temperature of 1500 K and a sink temperature of 300 K. Take T0 = 300 K. Sketch the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines and determine (a) the rate of the heat input to the working fluid, in kW, (b) the rate of the heat rejected from the working fluid, in kW, (c) the net power output, in kW, (d) the thermal efficiency of the cycle, (e) the exergy destruction associated with each of the processes, in kW, and (f) the second law efficiency.
