In a simple ideal Rankine cycle, water is used as the working fluid. The cycle operates with pressures of 2000 psi in the boiler

and 4 psi in the condenser. What is the minimum temperature required at the turbine inlet, so that the quality of the steam at the turbine outlet is not less than 85%. What would be the thermal efficiency of the cycle?

Answer:

Explanation:

The pressures given are relative

p1 = 2000 psi

P1 = 2014 psi = 13.9 MPa

p2 = 4 psi

P2 = 18.6 psi = 128 kPa

Values are taken from the steam pressure-enthalpy diagram

h2 = 2500 kJ/kg

If the output of the turbine has a quality of 85%:

t2 = 106 C

I consider the expansion in the turbine to adiabatic and reversible,  therefore, isentropic

s1 = s2 = 6.4 kJ/(kg K)

h1 = 3500 kJ/kg

t2 = 550 C

The work in the turbine is of

w = h1 - h2 = 3500 - 2500 = 1000 kJ/kg

The thermal efficiency of the cycle depends on the input heat.

η = w/q1

q1 is  not a given, so it cannot be calculated.
