Rankine Cycle Analysis with Feedwater Heaters

The document calculates the properties and performance of an ideal and non-ideal Rankine cycle. For the ideal cycle, the mass fractions extracted to the open and closed feedwater heaters are calculated to be 25.67% and 25.55% respectively. The turbine and pump work, net work, heat input and thermal efficiency are calculated. For the non-ideal cycle, the properties are recalculated using isentropic efficiencies and the same cycle parameters are determined.
