Question 13 of 15 Determine: The figure below shows a vapor power cycle that provides process heat and produces power. The steam generator produces vapor at 500 lbf/in.², 800°F, at a rate of 8 x 104 lb/h. Seventy percent of the steam expands through the turbine to 10 lbf/in.² and the remainder is directed to the heat exchanger. Saturated liquid exits the heat exchanger at 500 lbf/in.² and passes through a trap before entering the condenser at 10 lbf/in.² Saturated liquid exits the condenser at 10 lbf/in.² and is pumped to 500 lbf/in.² before entering the steam generator. The turbine and pump have isentropic efficiencies of 85% and 89%, respectively. For the process heat exchanger, assume the temperature at which heat transfer occurs is 465°F.

There are four thermostatically-controlled electric space heating loads of 1 p.u. power each. It is found that under certain weather conditions and for 1 p.u. voltage, they are on for four minutes and off for four minutes. The on-off cycle of the four heaters are initially symmetrically distributed so that two heaters are on at any point of time. The voltage suddenly drops to 0.894 p.u. Calculate the new on and off times for constant energy.
