An open cycle power plant is to be designed such that the turbine output is directly used for industrial process heating. The industrial process required 5kg/s steam at 200oC and the plant should produce 5kW. The boiler pressure should not exceed 25bar and the isentropic efficiency of the turbine can be assumed as 90%.

A turbine receives steam at 60bar and 3500C and the power output is 5000kW. For industrial process heating, it is planned to bleed off 4000kg of steam per hour at a temperature of 2500C from the turbine. Find the boiler capacity and the reduction in power output from the turbine. Assume isentropic efficiency of the turbine as 100% and the condenser pressure of 0.04 bar.

Question 3 [30 marks] A reheat Rankine cycle is designed for a steam power plant. Steam enters both the high- and low- pressure turbines at 600oC. The maximum and minimum pressures of the cycle are 20 MPa and 20 kPa, respectively. Steam leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid. The moisture content of the steam at the exit of the low-pressure turbine is 4% if the actual expansion process is adiabatic; 8.5% if the ideal expansion process is isentropic. The...
