Question

A power generating plant operating on rankine cycle uses steam as a working fluid and operates at a boiler pressure of 50 bar and a condenser pressure of 0.005 bar . steam supplied to the turbine in dry saturated condition . calculate (i) cycle efficiency (ii) work ratio and (iii) specific stream consumption for rankine cycle

Answer 1

Answer:

The steam power stations run on Rankine cycles using steam as a working fluid. The simple ideal Rankine cycle is in fact the most basic vapor power cycle. ... It works without pressure losses and without temperature difference between the heat source and the working fluid.
