boiler.

I II I. . Work and Heat Transfer
For this analysis, it is assumed that the process is ideal and there are not pressure
losses occurring in the piping, but as has been said previously the boiler generates
superheated vapor and there is a throttling process in the valve. Figure 4 shows the
modified cycle of the plant.
The evaporator, in this case a fire-tube boiler, produces a superheated vapor (Stage1').
Figure 4: Real Rankine cycle
Taking a control volume enclosing the boiler tubes and drums, the energy rate balance
gives:

neglecting kinetic and potential energy, the energy equation reduce to:

Then, vapors pass through the valve, states1-1. For a control volume enclosing the
valve, the mass and energy rate balance reduces under steady state to:
)
1 1
0
' ' '
+ = m Q
water v

Since there is not work done in the valve and heat transfer
v
Q

can be neglected, last

equation reduces to:
1 1 ' ' '
=
which means that there is an isenthalpic expansion in the valve.
Making a similar analysis for the pump and condenser, the work and heat transfer are:

The energy balance for a control volume around the turbine under steady state condition
is:

Neglecting heat transfer

to the surrounding, the process in the turbine is assumed

adiabatic and reversible, so isentropic (

= $ $ ) and the energy equation reduces to:

Then, knowing that

where

are calculated with the outlet temperature. It is important to

emphasize that the valve generates entropy from state 1'to the state1' '. Without the
expansion valve the cycle would be close to an isentropic expansion 2 1 ' ' in the
turbine. All parameters

pump work:

If the pump work is neglected, the net work of the cycle reduces to:

Then the thermal efficiency of this system is defined by the rate between the net work
and heat transfer from the boiler:
