A steam turbine generator is designed to generate 5.5MW of electrical power at a 6300V, 50HZ and 0.95 lag. The steam turbine requires 28 tons per hour of a high-pressure steam of temperature and pressure of 4000C and 40 bar. The steam turbine is a condensing type. If the temperature of the exhaust steam is 400 C (a).Calculate the efficiency of the steam turbine (b)What are the three (3) major advantages and disadvantages of the steam turbine? (c )What are the methods of improving efficiency of the Brayton cycle?
