Consider an ideal Rankine cycle modified with the addition of asingle reheat stage. The working fluid is H20. The maximum pressurein the cycle is 10MPa, and the temperature of the steam exitingboth the boiler and the reheater is 550°C. The pressure in thecondenser is 10kPa.
1.Draw the T-s diagram for the following three cases.
a) 4.5MPa (= 0.25Pmax + 2MPA)
b) 2.5MPA (= 0.25Pmax)
c) 0.5MPa (= 0.25Pmax - 2MPA)
2.Calculate the thermal efficiency for the three reheat cyclesin part 1
