Project 2 - Rankine cycle Simulator
Understand the concept of Rankine cycle by referring to standard thermal engineering text book.
- Create a Rankine Cycle Simulator using OCTAVE/MATLAB.
- Your code should calculate the state points of the Rankine Cycle (any type of your choice) based on user inputs.
- Then, plot the corresponding T-s and h-s plots for the given set of inputs. Title and axes labels are a must, while legends could be used if necessary.
- The presentation of your code will be taken into consideration while grading. Labelling sections of your code using comments is appreciated.
- Attach a report explaining the working of a rankine cycle simulator and also the research done by you.
Contents expected in the report:
- Step-wise explanation of your code.
- Mention the errors faced while programming.
- Steps taken to overcome those errors.
- Screenshots showing errors thrown in command window.
The link for the standard Xsteam library to get the steam table data for water, is given below. It must be used to calculate the points in between the state variables.
Click here to download the Xsteam Library.
Required Inputs:
Turbine Inlet temperature = 400° C
Turbine Inlet Pressure = 30 bars
Turbine Outlet Pressure = 0.05 bars = Condenser Inlet Pressure
Calculate the followings,
- Net work output
- Back work ratio
Hints:
1.Code the basic program that calculates the state points alone
2.Then add the thermodynamic relation to get the points inbetween the state variables.
Sample output of a Basic Rankine cycle simulator:
- Type:Basic Rankine-
- Code Snippet -
- Output Screen -
Note:
1.Paste your code here using the "INSERT SAMPLE CODE" option.
2. Include screenshots of the output screen to your submissions.
In case if you are not able to finish the project upload until what you have done and explain the codes and plot. Deserved marks will be allotted.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
- The codes, plots, images, GIFs, and videos should be submitted only through the answer box.
- Use the Google Drive to share only the cad models or other answers which couldn't be done through the answer box.
NOTE:
- Violating the above instructions will lead to ZERO marks.
- Link sharing should be enabled while sharing the Google Drive link, else the challenge will be awarded ZERO marks.
Just submitting your code without the report will result in a 0 grade.
