In the analysis of a regenerative rankine cycle, I want to get the optimum point to bleed. What do you suggest is it the mean pressure point or mean temperature point.
the bleed level in regenerative Rankine cycle depend on many issues. First of all one of the most important thing is the numbers of regenerative heat exchangers because that depend on the fuel cost. Every new regenerative heat exchanger increase the cycle efficiency but in a decreasing rate. Optimize the pressure levels for several heat exchanger is not an easy task, then i believed nobody could answer you in a perfect way. Energy and mass balance for each configuration probably will be the best approach you can follow. i hope the luck be with you
