Consider a steam power plant that operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle and has a net power output of 120 MW. Steam enters the turbine at 10 MPa and 550° c and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 15 kPa by running cooling water from a nearby source the condenser at a rate of 3000 kg/s. Determine the enthalpy h4 at the outlet of the Turbine
A 6.6MW steam power plant operating with 7 sets of turbine-generators. During the low load period, one set of turbine-generators is switched off for 3.6 hours and the superheated steam to this switched off turbine-generator is stored in an accumulator to a 97% of its storage capability. If the storage capability of accumulator is 17.3 GJ, what is the turbine thermal efficiency?
Consider a steam generator of a capacity of 40000 kg/hr and an efficiency of 79%. If the energy received by the steam inside the steam generator is 2400 kJ/kg, the exit temperature of flue gases (Cp=1.2 kJ/kgK) is 180°C and the fuel is burned with an A/F ratio of 18/1 (the lower heating value of the fuel burned is 45000 kJ/kg), the heat loss from the chimney considering an ambient temperature of 25°C is Select one: a. 139 kW b. 2651 kW c. 2511 kW d. 3078 kW
Steam in a reheat Rankine cycle enters the first-stage turbine at 8 MPa and 450°C. The steam leaves this first turbine at 800 kPa as a saturated vapor. The steam is then reheated isobarically back to 450°C before entering the second-stage turbine. At the exit of this second turbine, the steam is at 10 kPa and 50°C. The net power output of this cycle is 20 MW, and the water leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid. You may assume the pump functions isentropically and that there are no pressure losses in the condenser and boiler. Determine C. d. e. MW. Draw this cycle on a T-s diagram. Calculate the isentropic efficiencies of the first- and second-stage turbines. Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle. Calculate the mass flow rate of steam, in kg/h. Calculate the rate of heat transfer from the water as it passes through the condenser, in
Concentrating solar collectors are used to provide the heat source for a Rankine cycle using water as the working substance. The design specifications require a power output of 10 MW. Commercially available collectors allow steam to be generated at 2500 kPa and 3200C. The cycle low pressure is assumed to be 8 kPa. Determine (a) the cycle thermal efficiency; (b) the mass flow rate of steam; and (c) the mass flow of cooling water if its temperature increases by 12oC.
Explain why the second law efficiencies for the two turbines are not the same
