1. A steam power plant operates on a theoretical Rankine cycle. Steam at 150 bar, 550°C
expands through a high pressure turbine. It is reheated at a constant pressure of 40 bar,
550°C and expands through the low pressure turbine to a condenser pressure at 0.1 bar.
Draw T-S and H-S (Mollier diagram) find i) quality of steam at turbine exhaust
ii) cycle efficiency iii) steam rate in kg/kwh

2. Ideal Reheat- Regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feed water heater. The boiler
pressure is 10 MPa, Condenser pressure is 15 kPa, reheater pressure is 1 MPa, and feed
water pressure is 0.6 MPa. Steam enters the high and low pressure turbine at 500°C. Find
a) Fraction of steam extracted for regeneration and b) Thermal efficiency of the cycle.
Draw the T-S Diagram
