Homework 2xx Solutions 1

1. The document describes two Rankine cycle power plants. The first uses R-134a as the working fluid with an inlet pressure of 1.4 MPa and outlet of 0.7 MPa, and a mass flow rate of 3 kg/s. The second is a steam plant with a net power output of 45 MW, steam conditions of 7 MPa and 500°C inlet and 10 kPa outlet. 2. It asks to show the cycles on T-s diagrams and calculate efficiency, mass flow rates, and temperature changes for both plants.

1.

Consider a solar-pond power plant that operates


on a simple ideal Rankine cycle with refrigerant-
134a as the working fluid. The refrigerant enters the
turbine as a saturated vapor at 1.4 Mpa and leaves
at 0.7 MPa. The mass flow rate of the refrigerant is 3
kg/s. show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to
saturation lines, and determine
