QUESTION:
A simple ideal Rankine cycle which uses water as the working fluid operates its condenser at and its boiler at . Calculate the work produced by the turbine, the heat supplied in the boiler, and the thermal efficiency of this cycle when the steam enters the turbine without any superheating.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 6
A simple ideal Rankine cycle with water as the working fluid is considered.
The work output from the turbine, the heat addition in the boiler, and the thermal efficiency of the cycle are to be determined.
Assumptions are
1. Steady operating conditions exist.
2. Kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible.
