Problem Set Thermodynamics 2

The document contains two thermodynamics problems about steam power plants operating on Rankine cycles. Problem 1 asks to determine the thermal efficiency of a simple ideal Rankine cycle given steam conditions. Problem 2 asks to determine the heat addition rate, heat rejection rate, and thermal efficiency of an ideal reheat Rankine cycle given the net power and steam conditions.

Problem Set- Thermodynamics 2 April 25, 2024

1. Consider a steam power plant operating on the simple ideal Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine
at 3 MPa and 350°C and is condensed in the condenser at a pressure of 75 kPa. Determine the thermal
efficiency of this cycle.

2. Consider a steam power plant that operates on the ideal reheat Rankine cycle. The plant maintains the
inlet of the high-pressure turbine at 600 psia and 600°F, the inlet of the low-pressure turbine at 200 psia
and 600°F, and the condenser at 10 psia. The net power produced by this plant is 5000 kW. Determine
the rate of heat addition and rejection and the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
