This document provides a summary of answers to questions about a regenerative steam cycle with two stages of reheating. Key details include: - The steam initially expands from 200 bar and 540°C, and is reheated at 40 bar and 10 bar back to 540°C - Steam is bled at 20 bars and 15 bars into two open feedwater heaters, with condensation at 60°C - The actual mass of steam bled is 0.02560 kg/kg and 1.39251 kg/sec - The actual turbine work is 10721.947 KW, the energy chargeable is 24318.005 KW, and the actual cycle efficiency is 43.49%

QUIZ NO. 3 (100%) REGENERATIVE CYCLE WITH OPEN HEATERS:


IMPORTANT Note : Make a summary of your answers. You may fill up this page or maybe handwritten
per item number.

A reheat cycle with two stages of reheating is executed with steam expanding initially from 200
bar (20 Mpaa) and 540 deg C. The 2 reheater pressures are 40 bar (4 Mpaa) and 10 bar (1
Mpaa) and the steam leaves each reheater at 540 deg C. Steam is bled in between two
reheating sessions at a pressure equal to 20 and 15 bars into 2 open feedwater heaters.
Condensation occurs at 60 deg C. All expansion and compression efficiencies are 93 %. There
is a total of 6+ (SN/25) kg/sec of steam circulated in the cycle.

Answer the following: fill up the blanks in the items below:

1. Equipment layout and TS diagram for the cycle


2. Actual mass of steam bled into the open heater m1’= 0.02560 kg/kg for the heater
nearest to the SGU/boiler and m2’ = 1.39251 kg/sec for the heater nearest to the
condenser.
3. Actual turbine work in KW Answer: 10721.947 Kw
4. Energy Chargeable (actual) Answer: 24318.005 Kw
5. Ideal Rankine engine efficiency % Answer: 46.72 %
6. Actual Rankine cycle efficiency % Answer: 43.49 %
7. If the generator efficiency = 95%, brake engine efficiency = 90% what is the plant
capacity in MW? Answer: 9.167 MW
8. If Cp water = 4.187 KJ/kg-K; cooling water enters the condenser at 10 deg C and leaves
at 21 deg C, find amount of cooling water needed by the condenser in kg/sec. (ACTUAL)
Answer: 302.99 kg/s
9. Combined Heat Rate in KJ/KW-hr Answer: 9549.96 KJ/Kw-hr
10. Speed of the turbine shaft in rev per minute if Torque measured by the dynamometer=
5.92 KN-m. Answer: 15965.5 rpm
