Answer to Question #319431 in Mechanical Engineering for mekka

Question

In a Rankine cycle, what is the entrance pressure of the turbine if the condenser

pressure is 105 KPa and the pump work is 20 KJ/kg. Use density of water entering the

pump, 950 kg/m

Answer 1

The Rankine cycle or Rankine Vapor Cycle is the process widely used by power plants such as coal-fired power plants or nuclear reactors. In this mechanism, a fuel is used to produce heat within a boiler, converting water into steam which then expands through a turbine producing useful work.
