Tutorial: Chapter 8: Rankine Cycle

(Please ignore Pages iii and iv of the steam tables. It is best if you put a line
through it.)

Problem 1

Steam is supplied as dry saturated steam at 45 bar to a turbine and the condenser pressure is

0.060 bar. The plant operates on the Rankine cycle.

Draw the block diagram of the cycle and the corresponding T-s diagram. The numbering on the
diagrams should be the same as given in the notes.

Calculate per kg of steam:


(a) The cycle efficiency
(b) The work ratio
(c) The specific steam consumption
(d) The condenser load

Problem 2

Steam is supplied as superheated steam at 50 bar and 400oC to a turbine and the condenser
pressure is 0.075 bar. The plant operates on the Rankine cycle.

Draw the block diagram of the cycle and the corresponding T-s diagram. The numbering on the
diagrams should be the same as given in the notes.

Calculate per kg of steam:


(e) The cycle efficiency
(f) The work ratio
(g) The specific steam consumption
(h) The condenser load
