Steam enters the turbine of a Rankine cycle at 16 MPa, 5608C. The condenser pressure is 8 kPa. The turbine and pump each have isentropic efficiencies of 85%, and the mass flow rate of steam entering the turbine is 120 kg/s. Determine
(a) the net power developed, in kW.
(b) the rate of heat transfer to the steam passing through the boiler, in kW.
The isentropic pump efficiency is 82%. Cooling water enters the condenser at 188C and exits at 368C with no significant change in pressure. Determine
(a) the net power developed, in kW.
(b) the thermal efficiency.
(c) the mass flow rate of cooling water, in kg/s.
