Actual Rankine Cycle Example (Example 2.

Given:
Same conditions as Example 2.1 except
o Turbine efficiency 90%
o Pump efficiency 85%

Code
Tthrottle=1000
pthrottle=2000
pcond=1
etaturb=0.9
etapump=0.85
"Inlet of turbine"
T1=Tthrottle
p1=pthrottle
h1=enthalpy(steam,T=T1,P=p1)
s1=entropy(steam,T=T1,P=p1)
"Inlet of condenser"
s2s=s1
p2=pcond
h2s=enthalpy(steam,S=s2s,P=p2)
h2=h1-etaturb*(h1-h2s)
T2=temperature(steam,H=h2,P=p2)
s2=entropy(steam,H=h2,P=p2)
x2=quality(steam,H=h2,P=p2)
"Inlet of pump"
p3=p2
h3=enthalpy(steam,P=p3,X=0)
s3=entropy(steam,P=p3,X=0)
T3=temperature(steam,P=p3,X=0)

"Inlet of boiler"

"Work and heat calculations"
wout=h1-h2
qout=h2-h3
win=h4-h3
qin=h1-h4
"Thermal efficiency"
eta=(wout-win)/qin

"2nd law efficiency -- i.e. relative to Carnot"


"Note: must convert T from F to absolute units (Rankine) for Carnot calculation"
etaCarnot=1-(converttemp('F','R',Tcond))/(converttemp('F','R',Tthrottle))
