The document discusses a regenerative Rankine cycle, which improves the thermal efficiency of a Rankine cycle by lowering the heat added through a regeneration process. It extracts heat between turbine stages and uses it to preheat water coming from the condenser, raising the feedwater temperature to the boiler. It provides a schematic and T-S diagram of the regenerative Rankine cycle and examples of calculating cycle properties like enthalpies and efficiency given cycle parameters.

Regenerative cycle/engine is an improvement of Rankine
cycle/engine in order to increase the thermal efficiency by lowering the heat added to the cycle. This cycle could be single-stage or multi stages.
REGENERATION – process where heat is extracted between
turbine stages and used to heat water coming from the condenser thus, increasing the temperature of the feedwater to the boiler. SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF A REGENERATIVE RANKINE STEAM CYCLE T-S DIAGRAM OF A REGENERATIVE RANKINE STEAM CYCLEPROCESSES: • •Process 1-2 is an adiabatic (isentropic) partial turbine expansion from pressure 1 to a certain pressure 2. Then, point 2 is the extraction point wherein a fractional amount of steam is extracted for regenerative heating. •Process 2-3 is the continuation of adiabatic turbine expansion (isentropic) with the remaining steam after extraction • Process 3-4 is an isobaric heat rejection process •Process 4-5 is an adiabatic pumping process in pump #1 • Process 5-6 is an isobaric mixing process, • wherein the condensate from the condenser is mixed with the extracted steam • Process 6-7 is an adiabatic pumping process in • pump #2 • Process 7-1 is an isobaric heat addition process EXAMPLES EXAMPLES
