Question

In a 2 MW Rankine cycle, saturated vapor leaves the boiler at 2 MPa, and expands in the turbine to an outlet condition of 15 kPa with a quality of x = 94%. Saturated liquid leaves the condenser. The pump is idea. The temperature rise of the cooling water in the condenser is 10oC. Determine:

A. The mass flow rate of steam (kg/s)

B. The input heat transfer rate (in MW)

C. The cycle thermal efficiency

D. The cooling water mass flow rate (kg/s)
