Chapter 5: Thermodynamic Processes and Cycles 5-6) This problem examines the Rankine heat engine introduced in Figure 5-5. Saturated steam at T = 250°C enters the turbine and the condenser operates at T = 40°C. A) Assuming the turbine is reversible, give your best estimate of the efficiency of the cycle, and indicate the quality of the stream leaving the turbine. B) Assuming the turbine has an efficiency of 75%, give your best estimate of the efficiency of the cycle, and indicate the quality of the stream leaving the turbine. C) Find the flow rate of circulating water needed to produce a net power of 1 MW from the cycle with the turbine efficiency of 75%. Solution: A)
