Regenerative steam cycle

This document shows how Thermo Utilities, MS Excel Add-ins can be used for
calculation of regenerative steam cycle.
A regenerative steam cycle uses two closed-feed heaters. Determine the amount of
steam bled at each stage, the work output of the plant and cycle efficiency. It is
known that: pA=40 bar, tA=500 C, pB=10 bar, pC=1.0 bar, pD=0.035 bar. Isenteropic
efficiency of the steam turbine and pump are 0.85 and 0.90 respectively. Boiler
supplies 10 kg/s steam to the turbine.
