    This document describes a simple Rankine cycle power plant problem. It provides data on operating pressures and temperatures at different points in the cycle, as well as the mass flow rate and isentropic efficiency. It then lists the key calculations needed to determine the heat added in the boiler, pump work, net power output, and thermal efficiency. These include determining enthalpy and entropy values at different points to apply the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Pinch point technology is also briefly discussed to optimize the temperature difference between the working fluid and heat source.

    Problem: A simple Rankine cycle uses water as the working fluid. The boiler
    operates at 5000 kPa and the condenser at 61 kPa. At the entrance to the
    turbine, the temperature is 461C. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine
    is 94 percent, pressure and pump losses are negligible, and the water
    leaving the condenser is subcooled by 6.3C. The boiler is sized for a mass
    flow rate of 20 kg/s. Determine the rate at which heat is added in the
    boiler, the power required to operate the pumps, the net power produced
    by the cycle, and the thermal efficiency.

    Data:

    P1 = 5000 kpa

    T1 = 461oC

    P2 = 61 kpa

    Isentropic efficiency = 0.94

    Mass Flow Rate = 20 kg/s

    Tc = 6.3oC

    At the boiler exit / turbine inlet corresponding to the 5000 kpa and 461 oC in the
    super-heated region

    h1 = 3.341 x 103 KJ/Kg

    S1 = 6.845 KJ/Kg.K

    At the turbine exit

    S2 = S1

    Corresponding to 61 kpa from saturated water / steam table

    S2 = Sf2 + x2Sfg

    x2 = ( S2 - Sf2 ) / Sfg

    h2 = hf2 + x2hfg2

    h2 = 2465 x 103

    At the pump inlet

    T3 = TSat 6.3

    T Saturated Corresponding to the 61 KPa is 86.37

    T3 = 86.37 6.3 = 80.7

    Work done by pump

    W = V (P1 P2)

    Specific Volume Corresponding to the 61 KPa and 80.7 condensing


    temperature, from the subcooled water table

    W = 0.00109 (5000 61)

    W = 5.157 Watt

    Apply energy balance on pump

    h2 corresponding to the 61 KPa and 80.7 temperature

    h2 + Wp = h3

    h3 = 335246 + 5.175 = 335252 J/Kg

    Work done by boiler

    W = m (h1 - h3) = 60120 x 103

    Work done by turbine

    W = m (h1 h2) = 17520 x 103 KJ/Kg

    Net work Done

    Wnet = WT - WP = 17520 x 103 KJ/Kg

    Design of the cycle on the basis of


    pinch point technology
    Pinch point is the minimum temperature difference
    between the two points of the working fluid and the
    primary fluid. The less is the pinch point temperature
    the more will be the efficiency of cycle but costly
    turbine is required and the overall temperature
    difference will also be less.

    Pinch Point Temperature

    TPinch = Ta - Tb

    If primary fluid operates at 10000 KPa

    From super-heated table corresponding to 10000 KPa temperature is 311 oC

    So corresponding to 5000 KPa from saturated steam table temperature is 264 oC

    TPinch = Ta - Tb = 311 264 = 47oC

    If we increase the pressure of working fluid corresponding saturated temperature


    will increase.

    At 5010 KPa saturated temperature is 264.1oC

    TPinch = Ta - Tb1 = 311 264.1 = 46.93oC

    At 5020 KPa saturated temperature is 264.2oC

    TPinch = Ta - Tb2 = 311 264.2 = 46.8oC

    Conclusion
    From

    above its concluded that as the pressure of


    working fluid increases its corresponding
    saturated temperature increases and hence its
    corresponding enthalpy also increases yet its
    pinch point temperature decreases. As a result of
    which enthalpy difference between working fluid
    and primary fluid decreases.
