Rankine cycle Simulator

Rankine cycle Simulator

AIM: Creating a Rankine Cycle Simulator & Calculating the state points of the Rankine Cycle based on user inputs, Plotting the corresponding T-S and H-S plots for the given set of inputs

Theory:

Rankine cycle is the most basic thermodynamic cycle for any steam powerplant. It starts with heating of water in boiler at constant pressure to produce steam. The steam produced is then isentropically expanded in turbine to produce work. After turbine the steam in goes into the condenser where it is cooled and converted into water at constant pressure. The water is then again pumped back to boiler by a pump and cylce continues.

Turbine Inlet temperature = 400° C

Turbine Inlet Pressure = 30 bars

Turbine Outlet Pressure = 0.05 bars = Condenser Inlet Pressure


Process 1-2 : Reversible adiabatic expansion in the turbine (or steam engine).

Process 2-3 : Constant-pressure transfer of heat in the condenser.

Process 3-4 : Reversible adiabatic pumping process in the feed pump.

Process 4-1 : Constant-pressure transfer of heat in the boiler.
