Question

5. Steam at 3 MPa, 400 °C leaves the boiler and enters the high-pressure turbine in a reheat

cycle. It is expanded to 500 kPa. The steam is then reheated to 360 °C and expanded in the low-

pressure turbine to 70 kPa. Sketch T-s diagram for the process. Determine the efficiency of the

cycle assuming it is internally reversible. Compare that to without reheat. (Watch "Ideal Reheat

Cycle)
