Question

Mechanical Engineering

Design a steam power plant that works as an ideal RegenerativeRankine cycle with 2 closed feedwater heaters cascaded backwards byselecting their extraction pressures to optimize cycle efficiency.The available steam conditions at the exit of the boiler are 3 MPaand 590 °C and the condenser pressure is 20 kPa. The steam flowrate at the inlet of the turbine is 80 kg/s. A T-s diagram for thecycle should be provided along with a table showing the pressure,temperature, enthalpy and entropy of all the states at theoptimized point. Also, mention the net power output and rate ofheat rejected from the cycle as well as the fractions of theworking fluid extracted for each feedwater heaters at the designpoint.
