6Sec 8.2.2 : Modified Rankine Cycle

In addition to being able to work with the Ideal Rankine Cycle, you should also be prepared to evaluate performance that includes the following modifications

-- Superheating: Heating of the fluid past a saturated vapor and well into the superheated region by the steam generator.

-- Reheating: Reheating fluid after it has passed through one turbine and then passing through a second turbine at lower pressure.

-- Regenerative Feedwater Heating: A process where some of the steam is bled off and used to partially reheat the condensate from the condenser.

7Sec 8.2.2 : Modified Rankine Cycle

In addition to being able to work with the Ideal Rankine Cycle, you should also be prepared to evaluate performance that includes the following modifications

-- Non-Ideal Rankine (with irreversibilities): Similar to the Ideal Rankine cycle except the processes through the turbine and pump are not isentropic. Turbine and pump efficiencies need to be used to determine work in each of the components.-- Cogeneration: A process where some of the steam is bled off for use by other parts of the plant, such as for heating, cleaning, etc.

8Sec 8.3 : Superheat and Reheat

How can the efficiency of the Rankine cycle be increased?

As the temperature is raised, note that the sat. vapor location also shifts to the left, so that when the fluid expands through the turbine, a lower quality of the fluid is obtained. Why is this bad?

How can the cycle maintain high boiler Pressure and Temperature and still maintain a higher exit quality?

Superheat the steam.

Raise the Average High Temperature.

Net work is decreased as area under the curve get narrower and there are physical effects on the turbine that involve more blade wear. It is more desirable to have the exit quality of the steam, x2, be above 90%

9

How is steam superheated?


Superheating:It is not necessary to have the exit from the boiler be a saturated vapor (xboiler exit = 1).

Operate the boiler, such that the exit of the boiler is a superheated vapor.

The only difference in calculating cycle performance from the Ideal Rankine Cycle, is that state 3 is no longer expected to fall along the saturated vapor curve, but will be found on the superheated steam table.


When Reheating is implemented, there is a multistage stage turbine (often identified as a High Pressure and Low Pressure turbine.)

Before vapor starts to condense (reaches saturation), the vapor is sent back to the boiler and reheated.


This affects the Ideal Rankine Cycle model because there are additional states to determine properties for, a second pass through the turbine, and a second heat exchange with the boiler. Therefore, identify additional properties states (1, 2, 3, and 4) and then rework the 1st law equations as applied to the turbine and boiler.

13Sec 8.4 : Regenerative Vapor Power Cycle

Regenerative Feedwater Heating. (regeneration)

Note: This rerouting will diminish the net work output. The reduction in Qboiler should be less than the reduction of Wcycle.

Steam is diverted to use in a mixing chamber to preheat the condensate prior to entering boiler. This is useful since water is typically cooled below saturated level out of the condensor.

NonIdeal Rankine Cycle.

For real processes, there is some heat transfer with the surroundings, and thus an increase in entropy. In the turbine and pump, this can be quantified using the isentropic efficiencies.

Cogeneration SystemsCogeneration systems provide both electrical work out and process steam or hot water for use by an end user which is often a commerical, industrial, or governmental user.

Steam exported to the community

Electricity provided to the

community

Cogeneration Systems--Exporting useful steam to the community limits the electricity that also can be provided from a given fuel input, however.

--For instance, to produce saturated vapor at 100oC (1 atm) for export to the community water circulating through the power plant will condense at a higher temperature and thus at a higher pressure.

--In such an operating mode thermal efficiency is less than when condensation occurs at a pressure below 1 atm, as in a plant fully dedicated to power production.

T > 100oCp > 1 atm

28Sec 8.4.3 : Multiple Feedwater Heaters

As closing comment: You now have most of the tools you would need to analyze some relatively complicated vapor power generation units and be able to discuss their respective efficiencies or how to suggest improvements in their performance... (not that you would want to).
