Answer:
The effect of lowering the condenser pressure on different parameters is explained below.
Explanation:
The simple ideal Rankine cycle is shown in figure.
Effect of lowering the condenser pressure on
(a). Pump work input :- By lowering the condenser pressure the pump work increased.
(b) Turbine work output :- By lowering the condenser pressure the turbine work increased.
(c). Heat supplied :- Heat supplied increases.
(d). Heat rejected :- The heat rejected may increased or decreased.
(e). Efficiency :- Cycle efficiency is increased.
(f). Moisture content at turbine exit :- Moisture content increases.
