Use of Regeneration in Vapor Power Cycles
What is Regeneration?
• Goal of regeneration
– Reduce the fuel input requirements (Qin)
– Increase the temperature of the feedwater entering
the boiler (increases average Th in the cycle
• Result of regeneration
– Increased thermal efficiency
• Energy source for regeneration
– High pressure steam from the turbines
• Regeneration equipment
– Feedwater heater (FWH)
– This is a heat exchanger that utilizes the high
pressure steam extracted from the turbine to
heat the boiler feedwater

mass flow rate at any state n
mass flow rate entering the HPT
Determination of the flow
fractions requires application
of the conservation of mass
throughout the cycle and the
conservation of energy
around the feedwater
heater(s).
Note: If a mass flow rate is known or can be calculated, then
the flow fraction approach is not necessary!

Regeneration Example
Given: A Rankine cycle is operating with one open
feedwater heater. Steam enters the high pressure turbine at
1500 psia, 900°F. The steam expands through the high
pressure turbine to 100 psia where some of the steam is
extracted and diverted to an open feedwater heater. The
remaining steam expands through the low pressure turbine
to the condenser pressure of 1 psia. Saturated liquid exits
the feedwater heater and the condenser.
Find:
(a) the boiler heat transfer per lbm of steam entering the
high pressure turbine
(b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle
(c) the heat rate of the cycle

This is an important step
in the analysis. All
specific energy transfers
need to be based on the
same flow rate. The
common value is chosen
to be the inlet to the high
pressure turbine (HPT).
