Superheat Rankine Cycle Example
Consider the superheat Rankine power cycle as we analyzed before. But this time we are going to look at the system at a more practical sense. As before, the steam exits from the turbine will be 100% saturated vapor as shown. After condensing, saturated liquid enters the pump at a pressure of 0.1 MPa. However, both the turbine and the pump are operating at an isentropic efficiency of 80%. Determine (a) the rate of heat transfer into the boiler per unit mass, (b) the net power generation per unit mass. (c) the thermal efficiency,
