An ideal double-reheat steam turbine receives 300,000 kg/h of steam at 10 MPa and 400°C. After expansion from high pressure turbine shell, it is reheated twice from saturated vapor condition back to its initial temperature. The steam entering the condenser is 97% dry. Determine engine work, engine thermal efficiency, and steam rate.
| No Comments An ideal double-reheat steam turbine is a sensitive machinery that requires utmost care and precision in terms of its operation. In this article, we will discuss a theoretical case where an ideal double-reheat steam turbine receives 300,000 kg/h of steam at 10 MPa and 400°C. After expansion from high pressure turbine shell, it is reheated twice from saturated vapor condition back to […]
