Question

6. Steam is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle.

Saturated vapor enters the turbine at 8 MPa and

saturated liquid exits the condenser at a pressure of

0.008 MPa. The net power output of the cycle is 100

MW. Determine the cycle for the following: [MO1, MO2,

MO3, MO4]

a. The thermal efficiency

b. The back work ratio

c. The mass flow rate of the steam in kg/h

d. The rate of heat transfer Qin into the working

fluid as it passes through the boiler, in MW €

the rate of heat transfer, and Qout from the

condensing steam as it passes through the

condenser, in MW
