Elementary Thermodynamic Cycle and Components
Example 9.3
Consider a reheat cycle utilizing steam. Steam leaves the
boiler and enters the turbine at 4MPa, 400C. After
expansion in the turbine to 400kPa, the steam is reheated
to 400C and then expanded in the low-pressure turbine
to 10kPa. Determine the cycle efficiency.
For each control volume analyzed, the thermodynamic
model is steam tables, the process is SSSF, and changes
in kinetic and potential energies are negligible.

Example 9.4
Consider a regenerative cycle using steam as the
working fluid. Steam leaves the boiler and enters the
turbine at 4MPa, 400C. After expansion to 400kPa,
some of the steam is extracted from the turbine for
the purpose of heating the feedwater in an open
feedwater heater. The pressure in the feedwater
heater is 400kPa and the water leaving it is saturated
liquid at 400kPa. The steam not extracted expands
to 10kPa. Determine the cycle efficiency.
Process: SSSF.
