1. An industrial plant needs 20,000 lbm of saturated steam at 280°F per hour for heating purposes and ten MW of electrical power. A small turbine system is to be designed to handle both of these needs. Steam is supplied to a turbine at 400 psia pressure from a boiler and expanded until 280°F saturated steam is obtained whereupon the steam needed for heating is extracted. The rest of the steam is expanded in a second turbine to a condenser...

You are to analyze a simple steam power plant. At the boiler exit, the pressure is 8 MPa and the temperature is 1000 °C. The turbine isentropic efficiency is 85%. The condenser pressure is 15 kPa and the water is a saturated liquid at the condenser exit. The pump isentropic efficiency is 80%. Answer the following: a) What is the quality at the exit in %, if the turbine is assumed isentropic? b) What is the work output of the...

A steam Rankine cycle operates between the pressure limits of 1500 psia in the boiler and 6 psia in the condenser. The turbine inlet temperature is 800°F. The turbine isentropic efficiency is 90 percent, the pump losses are negligible, and the cycle is sized to produce 2500 kW of power. How much error is caused in the thermal efficiency if the power required by the pump were completely neglected? Use steam tables. The error caused in the thermal efficiency if...

Fuel is burned in a boiler to produce saturated steam at 10.0 bar absolute pressure from saturated liquid water at 10.0 bar absolute pressure. This H20 flows through tubes that run through the boiler, Energy released by combustion is transferred as heat through the walls of the tubes to convert the liquid water to steam at 10.0 bar. The fuel consists of 37 mol% ethane and 63 mol% acetylene, and is fed in the vapor phase at 50 °C and...
