FIGURE 16 (a) T-S chart for the bleed-steam regenerative cycle in
Fig. 15; (b) actual fluid flow in the cycle; (c) alternative plot of (b).

3. Alter the T-S diagram to show actual cycle conditions
As plotted in Fig. 16a, Q is true for this cycle since 1 lb (0.5 kg) of water

flows through the stearn-generator and the first section of the turbine. But Q r

is much too large; only 1 − m − m − m lb of steam flows through the
