Question
7. An Ideal reheat Rankine cycle with water as the working fluid operates the boller at 15,000 kPa, the
reheater at 2000 kPa, and the condenser at 100 kPa. The temperature is 450°C at the entrance of the
high-pressure and low-pressure turbines. The mass flow rate through the cycle is 1.74 kg/s. Determine the
power used by pumps, the power produced by the cycle, the rate of heat transfer in the reheater, and the
thermal efficiency of this system.
