A steam power plant design consists of an ideal Rankine cycle with regeneration. Steam enters Turbine 1 at P1 and T1 at the rate of m1 and exits at P2. A fraction (y') of the steam exiting Turbine 1 is diverted to a closed feedwater heater while the remainder enters Turbine 2. A portion (y'') of the steam exiting Turbine 2 at P3 is diverted to an open feedwater heater while the remainder enters Turbine 3. The exit of Turbine 3 is fed into a condenser that operates at P4. Saturared liquid exits the condenser and is fed to Pump 1. The outlet of Pump 1 is fed into the open feedwater heater. Saturated liquid exits the open feedwater heater and is fed to Pump 2. The outlet of pump 2 is fed to the closed feedwater heater. Saturated liquid exits the low pressure output of the closed feedwater heater and is fed through a steam trap to the open feedwater heater. Both exits of the closed feedwater heater are at the same temperature. All turbines and pumps are isentropic. --Given Values--
m1 (kg/s) = 50
P1 (Bar) = 160
T1 (oC) = 640
P2 (Bar) = 10
T3 (C) = 600
P4 (Bar) = 1
P5 (Bar) = 0.06
