Superheat Rankine Cycle Example
Consider the same Rankine power cycle as we analyzed before. But this time we are going to superheat the steam in the boiler before allowing it to enter the turbine at 6 MPa. 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. 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,
