Paper Details

Repeat Prob. 10-16 assuming an isentropic efficiency of 85 percent for both the turbine and the pump.
Prob. 10-16
Consider a 210-MW steam power plant that operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 10 MPa and 500°C and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kPa. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine (a) The quality of the steam at the turbine exit,
(b) The thermal efficiency of the cycle, and
(c) The mass flow rate of the steam.
