REGENERATIVE

RANKINE CYCLE
MODULE 7
DISCUSSION
REGENERATIVE RANKINE CYCLE

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.

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

and temperature of 550°C. The condenser pressure is 10 kPa, and extraction for
one stage of regenerative heating occurs at 1000 kPa. Determine the (a)
enthalpies of the cycle, (b) the fractional amount of steam extracted for
regenerative heating and (c) the cycle efficiency.
