Applied Thermodynamics Assignment :

1. A steam power plant incorporates an ideal reheat cycle to improve the existing efficiency.

Steam at 30 bar and 250 is s!pplied at high press!re t!rbine inlet and expands till it is dry sat!rated at 3 bar. "ow the steam is ta#en to a reheater and its temperat!re is again increased to 250 by constant press!re reheating process. $he reheated steam expands in the low press!re t!rbine to a condenser press!re of 0.0% bar. &etermine the cycle efficiency 'witho!t !sing mollier chart(.
