1. A thermoelectric steam generation plant operates on a Rankine cycle with reheating and two boiler feed water heaters, one open and one closed. Steam enters the high pressure turbine at P8 and 500 ° C and the low pressure turbine at P10 and 500 ° C. The condenser pressure is 40 kPa. Steam is drawn from the turbine at a pressure P11 for the closed feed water heater and at a pressure P12 for the open feed water heater. In the closed heater, the feed water is heated to the saturation temperature of the extracted steam, this condensate is removed as a saturated liquid, it is throttled and goes to the open feed water heater.
