Question
Consider the following statements pertaining to the features of a regenerative steam cycle plant as compared to a non-regenerative plant:
1. It increases the cycle efficiency.
2. It requires a bigger boiler.
3. It requires a smaller condenser.
Which of these statements are correct? 
A.
1, 2 and 3
B.
1 and 2
C.
2 and 3
D.
1 and 3
Answer ( Option A)

1, 2 and 3

Solution

Effect of regenerative cycle over simple Rankine cycle:
  • Thermal efficiency is improved because the mean temperature of heat addition to the cycle is increased. 
  • Due to many extractions there is an improvement in the turbine drainage and it reduces erosion due to moisture. 
  • A small size condenser is required. 
  • For given power a large capacity boiler is required.
