Plot the rankine cycle thermal efficiency

Reference no: EM131348550

Consider a steam turbine with a constant inlet temperature of 500.°C connected to a constant pressure condenser at 1.00 kPa. When the steam expands to a saturated vapor in the turbine, it is removed and reheated in the boiler to 500.°C then returned to the turbine to continue to expand until it reaches the condenser pressure. The turbine isentropic efficiency is constant at 80.0%. Ignoring the boiler feed pump power, plot

a. The Rankine cycle thermal efficiency.

b. The percent moisture in the turbine exhaust vs. the boiler pressure over a boiler pressure range of 1.00 to 20.0 MPa. Computerized steam tables are recommended for the problem.
