Project 2 - Rankine cycle Simulator

AIM:-

1) to simulate a rankie cycle using matlab

2)extracting steam and water properites from Xstrsm files

3)calculating all the state points of the cycle and to plot T vs S and H vs S.

Theory:-

The Rankine cycle was named after him and describes the performance of steam turbine systems, though the theoretical principle also applies to reciprocating engines such as steam locomotives. In general, the Rankine cycle is an idealized thermodynamic cycle of a constant pressure heat engine that converts part of heat into mechanical work. In this cycle the heat is supplied externally to a closed loop, which usually uses water (in a liquid and vapor phase) as the working fluid. In contrast to the braytom, the working fluid in the Rankine cycle undergo the phase change from a liquid to vapor phase and vice versa.

While many substances could be used as the working fluid in the Rankine cycle (inorganic or even organic), water is usually the fluid of choice due to its favorable properties, such as its non-toxic and unreactive chemistry, abundance, and low cost, as well as its thermodynamic properties. For example, water has the highest specific heat of any common substance – 4.19 kJ/kg K. Moreover it has very high , which makes it an effective coolant and medium in thermal power plants and other energy industry. In case of the Rankine cycle, almost cannot be used (steam do not follow pV=nRT), therefore all important parameters of water and steam are tabulated in so called steam tables

One of the major advantages of the Rankine cycle is that the compression process in the pump takes place on a liquid. By condensing the working steam to a liquid (inside a condenser) the pressure at the turbine outlet is lowered and the energy required by the feed pump consumes only 1% to 3% of the turbine output power and these factors contribute to a higher efficiency for the cycle.

In an ideal Rankine cycle, the system executing the cycle undergoes a series of four processes: two isentropic (reversible adiabatic) processes alternated with two isobaric processes,

Explanation of Program:-
1. Xsteam data is used to extract steam and water properties of enthaly, entropy at specific pressure and temperatures for sat liquid, sat vapour conditions etc.
2. The program requires the input of Pressure (in bar) at state point 1 ( turbine inlet). Temperature at same point (degree celcius) and pressure at condenser inlet (point 2). 3. With the help of these inlets & from Xsteam data, the program calculates all the state points of the Rankine cycle.
4. The Xsteam data works as, h1 = XSteam('h_pT'. p1, T1) it returns the enthalpy of water at given pressure and temperature in bar and degC respectively.
5. As we extract the data, we use thermodynamic relation to further find state points and extract their data from XSteam which are mentioned after studying the Rankine cycle.
6. Sf and sg. hf and hg, where f and g stands for saturated liquid and saturated vapour respectively are calculayed after studying the plots of Rankine cycles and extracting data from Xsteam file.
7. The net work, work done by turbine, work done to run the pump. Heat in and heat out are calculated using standard thermodynamic relation
8. Efficiency and Specific steam consumption (s.s.c) of the Rankine cycle is calculated from
thermodynamic relations and mentioning them in program using relations.
9. T.s and h are extracted at vapour and liquid line for plotting purpose, after 4th point for the variationn you observe in the plot.
10. Saturation curve is plotted in red for saturated liquid and saturated gas in T-S and in H-S it is black..
11. Plot of T vs s and h vs s is created from all the points obtained from the program using the plot command and mentioning all the lables, linewidth, color and title.
12. The plot changes as the user input changes for the above mentioned inputs.
13. Results are displayed in the command window by using sprint command.
Result - The input, ouput screen and the various state points with various parameters generated command window are shown below
