: Using the heat output in the previous problem and the heat input is 3630, what is the efficiency? View
: If the specific enthalpy at the exit of the turbine is 2700 kJ/kg, what is the heat rejected from this Rankine Cycle in units of kJ/kg? View
: As you move from the inlet state to the exit state of the pump, which of the following is true? View
: What is the specific enthalpy at the exit state of the condenser? Assume the steam leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid at 10 bar (absolute). View
: Assume the turbine is ideal and adiabatic. What is the specific entropy of the steam as it exits the turbine and enters the condenser? Hint: you need to use the results from the previous problem. View
: Consider a Rankine power plant that has uses no reheat with water as the working fluid. The steam generator operates at 100 bar and the condenser operates at 10 bar (absolute). The water enters the turbine at a temperature of 775 degrees Celsius. Assume no losses in the system. What is the specific enthalpy and the specific entropy of the water as it enters the turbine?

: The Brayton cycle has the same 4 processes as the Rankine cycle, but the T-S and P-V diagrams look very different; why is that? View
