Sketch jiagram and the corresponding temperature-entropy diagram of a reheat vapour cycle aWf derive an expression for the reheat cycle efficiency. What are the advéiptages gained by reheating the steam between stages? (10 Marks) . Astin poder plant incorporates an idcal reheat cycle to improve the existing efficiency. 30 bar and 250°C is supplied at high pressure turbine inlet and expands tll it is dry 33 bar. Now the steam is taken to a feheater and its temperature is again increased ‘by constant pressure reheating process. The reheated steam expands in the low ‘turbine to a condenser pressure of 0.04 bar. Determine the eyele efficiency. ‘0 Marks) 10f2 BRANCHES | ALL SEMESTERS | NOTES | QUESTON PAPERS | LAB MANUALS A Vturesource Go Green initiativeSave trees use e-Question Paper Go green DOWNLOAD THIS FREE AT www.vturesource.com 06ME43 PAR’ 5 a.
