To increase the thermal efficiency in any power cycle, we try to increase the
maximum temperature at which heat is added.
Reasons why the Carnot cycle is not used:
Pumping process 1-2 requires the pumping of a mixture of saturated
liquid and saturated vapor at state 1 and the delivery of a saturated liquid
at state 2.
To superheat the steam to take advantage of a higher temperature,
elaborate controls are required to keep TH constant while the steam
expands and does work.
To resolve the difficulties associated with the Carnot cycle, the Rankine
cycle was devised.
Rankine Cycle
The simple Rankine cycle has the same component layout as the Carnot
cycle shown above. The simple Rankine cycle continues the condensation
process 4-1 until the saturated liquid line is reached.

Example 9-1
Compute the thermal efficiency of an ideal Rankine cycle for which steam
leaves the boiler as superheated vapor at 6 MPa, 350oC, and is condensed at
10 kPa.
We use the power system and T-s diagram shown above.
P2 = P3 = 6 MPa = 6000 kPa
T3 = 350oC
P1 = P4 = 10 kPa
Pump
The pump work is obtained from the conservation of mass and energy for
steady-flow but neglecting potential and kinetic energy changes and
assuming the pump is adiabatic and reversible.
m 1 = m 2 = m
m 1h1 + W pump = m 2 h2
W pump = m (h2 h1 )

To find the heat supplied in the boiler, we apply the steady-flow

then

Reheat Cycle
As the boiler pressure is increased in the simple Rankine cycle, not only does
the thermal efficiency increase, but also the turbine exit moisture increases.
The reheat cycle allows the use of higher boiler pressures and provides a
means to keep the turbine exit moisture (x > 0.85 to 0.90) at an acceptable
level.

Example 9-2
Compare the thermal efficiency and turbine-exit quality at the condenser
pressure for a simple Rankine cycle and the reheat cycle when the boiler
pressure is 4 MPa, the boiler exit temperature is 400oC, and the condenser
pressure is 10 kPa. The reheat takes place at 0.4 MPa and the steam leaves
the reheater at 400oC.

Regenerative Cycle
To improve the cycle thermal efficiency, the average temperature at which
heat is added must be increased.
One way to do this is to allow the steam leaving the boiler to expand the
steam in the turbine to an intermediate pressure. A portion of the steam is
extracted from the turbine and sent to a regenerative heater to preheat the
condensate before entering the boiler. This approach increases the average
temperature at which heat is added in the boiler. However, this reduces the
mass of steam expanding in the lower- pressure stages of the turbine, and,
thus, the total work done by the turbine. The work that is done is done more
efficiently.
The preheating of the condensate is done in a combination of open and
closed heaters. In the open feedwater heater, the extracted steam and the
condensate are physically mixed. In the closed feedwater heater, the
extracted steam and the condensate are not mixed.

An ideal regenerative steam power cycle operates so that steam enters the
turbine at 3 MPa, 500oC, and exhausts at 10 kPa. A single open feedwater
heater is used and operates at 0.5 MPa. Compute the cycle thermal
efficiency.
Using the software package the following data are obtained.

If these data were used for a Rankine cycle with no regeneration, then th =
35.6 percent. Thus, the one open feedwater heater operating at 0.5 MPa
increased the thermal efficiency by 5.3 percent. However, note that the mass
flowing through the lower-pressure stages has been reduced by the amount
extracted for the feedwater and the net work output for the regenerative cycle
is about 10 percent lower than the standard Rankine cycle.
Below is a plot of cycle thermal efficiency versus the open feedwater heater
pressure. The feedwater heater pressure that makes the cycle thermal
efficiency a maximum is about 400 kPa.

fraction of mass y extracted for the feedwater heater versus the open

fraction of mass extracted increases with increasing extraction pressure.
Why does the fraction of mass extracted increase with increasing extraction
pressure?
