A power plant operates at a 25.5% efficiency during the summer
when the seawater used for cooling is at 20.0°C. The plant uses
330°C steam to drive turbines. If the plant's efficiency changes in
the same proportion as the ideal efficiency, what would be the
plant's efficiency in the winter, when the seawater is at
10.8°C?
______________%
What change in entropy occurs when a 27.9 g ice cube at -12°C is
transformed into steam at 115°C?

A power plant operates on a regenerative vapor power cycle with one open feedwater heater. Steam enters the first turbine stage at 12 MPa, 560°C and expands to 1 MPa, where some of the steam is extracted and diverted to the open feedwater heater operating at 1 MPa. The remaining steam expands through the second turbine stage to the condenser pressure of 6 kPa. Saturated liquid exits the open feedwater heater at 1 MPa. The net power output for the...

a) A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat-regenerative Rankine cycle. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine (HPT) at a pressure of 10 MPa and temperature of 550°C. The steam expands through the HPT stage to a pressure of 0.6 MPa. Some of the steam at the end of the expansion process in HPT is extracted for a regeneration process in a closed-type feedwater heater. The steam leaves the heater as a saturated liquid and then is throttled to the...
