    Problem: A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat


    Rankine cycle between the pressure limits of 15 M P a
    and 10 kP a. The mass flow rate of steam through the
    cycle is 12 kg/s. Steam enters both stages of the turbine
    at 500 ◦ C. If the moisture content of the steam at the exit
    of the low-pressure turbine is not to exceed 10 percent,
    determine:

    (a) the pressure [kP a] at which reheating takes place,


    (b) the total rate of heat input [kW ] in the boiler

    Assumptions
    1. SS − SF
    2. heat loss to the surroundings is negligible
    3. KE = P E → 0
    4. properties are constant

    = (0.00101 m3 /kg)(15000 − 10) kP a
    1 kP a · m3
    = 15.14 kJ/kg
    h2 = h1 + wp,in
    1 mark
    = 191.81 kJ/kg + 15.14 kJ/kg = 206.95 kJ/kg

    State 6

    h6 = (1 − x)hf + xhg
    = 0.1(191.81 kJ/kg) + 0.9(2583.9 kJ/kg)
    = 2344.7 kJ/kg 1 mark

    s6 = (1 − x)sf + xsg
    = 0.1(0.6492 kJ/kg · K) + 0.9(8.1488 kJ/kg · K)
    = 7.3988 kJ/kg · K 1 mark

    State 5
    To find the pressure at 5 we need to interpolate in the superheated tables. First the entropy at a pressure
    above the desired value and then at a pressure below the desired value.

    @500 ◦ C, @2 M P a −→ s = 7.4337 kJ/kg · K

    @500 ◦ C, @2.5 M P a −→ s = 7.3254 kJ/kg · K

    These values of s bound our value of s5 = 7.3988 kJ/kg · K. 1 mark

    Interpolate to find the pressure, P5


    7.4337 − 7.3988
    = 0.32225
    7.4337 − 7.3254
    P3 = 2000 kP a + 0.32225 × (2500 − 2000) kP a
    = 2161 kP a ⇐ 1 mark

    and

    h5 = 0.32225 × (3468.3 kJ/kg) + 0.67775 × (3462.8 kJ/kg) = 3464.8 kJ/kg

    State 4
    To find h4 we need to interpolate within the superheated tables

    @2 M P a, s = 6.348 kJ/kg · K −→ h = 2802.7 kJ/kg

    @2.5 M P a, s = 6.348 kJ/kg · K −→ h = 2848.9 kJ/kg

    To find the actual value of h4 we need to interpolate between these two pressures to find the value at
    P4 = 2161 kP a

    h4 = 0.678 × (2802.7 kJ/kg) + 0.322 × (2848.9 kJ/kg) = 2817.6 kJ/kg


    1 mark

    Part b)
    The heat input to the boiler is given as

    Q̇in = ṁ[(h3 − h2 ) + (h5 − h4 )]


    = (12 kg/s)[(3310.8 − 206.95) + (3464.8 − 2817.6)] kJ/kg = 45, 012.6 kW ⇐
