A 200MW steam power plant operates on a simple Rankine cycle assuming non-ideal isentropic efficiencies for the water pump and the steam turbine. The plant consists of a water pump with isentropic efficiency 0.9, a boiler, a turbine with isentropic efficiency 0.85 and a condenser. The steam exits the boiler at pressure P3=10MPa and temperature T3=500°C. The exit pressure at the condenser is 50KPa. i) Sketch the cycle on a T-s diagram ii) Calculate the quality of the steam at the turbine exit iii) Find the thermal efficiency of the plant iv) Find the steam mass flow rate

A 200MW steam power plant operates on a
simple Rankine cycle assuming non-ideal
isentropic efficiencies for the water pump
and the steam turbine.
The plant consists of a water pump with
isentropic efficiency 0.9, a boiler, a turbine
with isentropic efficiency 0.85 and a
condenser. The steam exits the boiler at
pressure P3=10MPa and temperature
T3-500°C. The exit pressure at the
condenser is 50KPa.
i) Sketch the cycle on a T-s diagram
ii) Calculate the quality of the steam at the
turbine exit
iii) Find the thermal efficiency of the plant
iv) Find the steam mass flow rate
