An ideal Rankine cycle with reheat uses water as the working fluid. The conditions at the inlet to the first-stage turbine are 12 MPa, 600^∘ C and the steam is reheated between the turbine stages to 600^∘ C. For a condenser pressure of 8 kPa, plot the cycle thermal efficiency versus reheat pressure for pressures ranging from 2 to 10 MPa. | Numerade

A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat regenerative Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 80 MW. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 10 MPa and 550^∘ C and leaves at 0.8 MPa. Some steam is extracted at this pressure to heat the feedwater in an open feedwater heater. The rest of the steam is reheated to 500^∘ C and is expanded in the low-pressure turbine to the condenser pressure of 10 kPa. Show the cycle on a T -s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine (a) t
