2. Actual vapor power cycles Actual cycle depart from ideal cycle because of:
Frictional irreversibilities (MAJOR) and heat loss from the turbine
Frictional irreversibilities (MAJOR) and heat loss from the pump
Pressure drops due to friction and heat losses in the piping, esp.:
Boiler exit to turbine inlet
Pump exit to boiler inlet
Frictional pressure drop and subcooling (to avoid cavitation in the pump) in the condenser.

10. Ideal Rankine cycle with and without superheat
11. Effect of superheat through an example Steam enters a turbine of a simple vapor power plant with a pressure of 10 MPa and temperature T, and expands adiabatically to 6 kPa. The isentropic turbine efficiency is 85%. Saturated liquid exits the condenser at 6 kPa and the isentropic pump efficiency is 82%. Plot the the turbine exit quality and cycle efficiency for T=312-700oC.

18. Superheating: summary Superheating improves both efficiency and the turbine exit quality (T?? ??, x?).
However, the maximum temperature of superheat is limited by metallurgical considerations (current state of the art allows about 700 OC).
19. Reheat
20. Effect of increasing boiler pressure If the maximum temperature of superheat is fixed from metallurgical considerations, on increasing the boiler pressure (see boardwork):
Efficiency increases?high boiler pressures desirable
BUT, turbine exit quality decreases?Ideal Rankine cycles cannot be used at high boiler pressures.
21. Reheat: a solution that allows for high boiler pressures at high turbine exit quality
