Problem 10.44 Statement
A steam power plant operates on an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at
6MPa and 450C and is condensed in the condenser at 20 kPa. Steam is extracted from the turbine
at 0.4 MPa to heat the feed water in an open feed water heater. Water leaves the feed water
heater as a saturated liquid. Show the cycle on T-s diagram, and determine
(a) The net work output per kilogram of steam flowing through the boiler.
(b) The thermal efficiency of the cycle.
[Ans. (a) 1017, (b) 37.8 percent]

Problem 11.20 Statement

Refrigeration- 134a enters the compressor of a refrigerator at 140 kPa and -10C at a rate of 0. m3/min and leaves at 1 MPa. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 78 percent. The refrigerant enters the throttling valve at 0.95 MPa and 30C and leaves the evaporator as saturated vapor at -18.5C. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine (a) the power input to the compressor, (b) the rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space, and (c) the pressure drop and rate of heat gain in the line between the evaporator and the compressor.

[Ans. (a) 1.88 kW, (b) 4.99 kW, (c) 1.65 kPa,0.241 kw]
