A steam powerplant operating on an ideal Rankine Cycle is operating at a boiler pressure of 5.75MPa, steam enters the turbine at 500°C and expands to 147kPa. If the powerplant is producing 5MW of energy find the following:

 

  1. Enthalpies at each point of the cycle 1,2,3,B (hint: you will have to interpolate horizontally for point 1 and interpolate for the f,g,fg values for point 2)
  2. Net work in kj/kg
  3. Mass flow rate of throttle steam used by the powerplant
  4. Heat added in the boiler
  5. Heat rejected in the condenser
  6. Cycle Thermal efficiency
