Thermal-Fluid Sciences: An Integrated Approach
Determine the maximum thermal efficiency and the electrical generating capacity
(MW) of this power plant. 12.19 Steam leaves the boiler of a 100-MW, Rankine-
cycle power plant at 700 F and 500 psia. The steam enters the turbine at 650 F ...

Gas Turbines: A Handbook of Air, Land and Sea Applications
The optimum pressure ratio for thermal efficiency is comparatively low since the
difference between the exhaust and compressor delivery temperature is high,
hence more heat may be recovered. This is the dominant effect of pressure ratio.
