Ideal reheat regenerative cycle

Example 4.17 Ideal reheat regenerative cycle A steam power plant is using an ideal reheat regenerative Rankine cycle (see Figure 4.23). Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 9000 kPa and 773.15 K and leaves at 850 kPa. The condenser operates at 10 kPa. Part of the steam is extracted from the turbine at 850 kPa to heat the water in an open heater, where the steam and liquid water from the condenser mix and direct contact heat transfer takes place. The rest of the steam is reheated to 723.15 K, and expanded in the low-pressure turbine section to the condenser pressure. The water is a saturated liquid after passing through the water heater and is at the heater pressure. The work output of the turbine is 75 MW. Determine the work loss at each unit.
