STEAM CYCLE
DEFINITIONS: 1. Rankine cycle is the ideal cycle for vapor power plants. 2. In a rankine cycle, water enters the pump as saturated liquid and is compressed isentropically to the operating pressure of the boiler. 3. In the pump, the water pressure and temperature increases somewhat during this isentropic compression process due to a slight decrease in specific volume of water. 4. The superheated vapor enters the turbine and expands isentropically and produces work by the rotating shaft. The temperature and pressure may drop during the process. 5. steam is condensed at constant pressure in the condenser. 6. the boiler and condenser do not involve any work, and the pump and turbine are assumed to be isentropic. 7. Rankine cycle power plant converts 26% of the heat it receives in the boiler to net work. Work input 8. Back work ratio = Work output 9. The lesser the back work ratio, the better is the cycle. 10. Only 0.4 % of the turbine work output is required to operate the pump. 11. In actual condensers, the liquid is usually subcooled to prevent cavitation. That damaged the impeller of the pump. 12. Fluid friction causes pressure drops in the boiler, the condenser, and piping between various components. 13. The pressure in the condenser is usually very small. 14. To compensate pressure drops in rankine cycle, the water must be pumped to a sufficient higher pressure than ideal cycle. 15. The major source of irreversibility is the heat loss from the steam to the surroundings. 16. To increase the thermal efficiency of rankine cycle, increase the average temperature at which heat is transferred to the working fluid in the boiler. 17. To increase the thermal efficiency of rankine cycle, decrease the average temperature at which heat is rejected from the working fluid in the condenser. 18. Lowering the operating pressure of the condenser automatically lower the temperature of the steam, and thus the temperature at which heat is rejected. 19. The overall effect of lowering the condenser pressure is an increase in the efficiency of rankine cycle. 20. To take advantage of the increase efficiencies at low pressures, the condenser of steam power plants usually operate well below the atmospheric pressure. 21. The average temperature at which heat is added to the steam can be increased without increasing the boiler pressure by superheating the steam to high temperature.
22. Superheating the steam to higher temperature decreases the moisture content of the steam at the turbine exit. 23. Presently the highest steam temperature allowed at the turbine inlet is about 620 degree C. ceramics are very promising in this regard. 24. Raises the average temperature at which heat is added to the steam raises the thermal efficiency of the cycle. 25. The average temperature during the reheat process can be increased by increasing the number of expansion and reheat stages. 26. As the number of stages is increased, the expansion and reheat process approached an isothermal process at the maximum temperature. 27. In a reheat cycle, the optimum reheat pressure is about of the maximum cycle pressure. 28. The main purpose of reheating is to reduce the moisture content of the steam at the final stage of expansion. 29. Regeneration also provides a convenient means of dearating the feedwater to prevent corrosion in the boiler. 30. The cycle efficiency increases further as the number of feedwater heater is increased. 31. A trap allows the liquid to be throttled to a lower pressure region but traps the vapor. 32. A closed feedwater heater is more expensive than open feedwater heater. 33. Cogeneration is the production of more than one useful of energy (such as process heat and electric power)from the same energy source. 34. The overall thermal efficiency of a power plant can be increased by binary cycles or combined cycles. 35. A binary cycle is composed of two separate cycles, one at high temperature (topping cycle) and the other at relative low temperature. 36. Combined cycles have a higher thermal efficiency than the steam or gas turbine cycle operating alone. METHODS OF IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF RANKINE CYCLE 1.
