Question
Steam is delivered by a boiler at 1000
psia and 900 F to a turbine. After
expansion in the turbine to 300 psia, the
steam is withdrawn and reheated to the
initial temperature. The expansion now
occurs to the condenser pressure of
1psia. The turbine efficiency is 80% and
the generator efficiency is 90%.
The stoker fired boiler with 60%
efficiency uses coal with the ultimate
analysis below:
C- 69 %, H = 4.5 %, O2 = 6.5 %, N2 =
2%, S = 3%, A = 11%, Moisture = 4%
The amount of air supplied is 126,000
ft/min at 60 F, 14.7 psia with 25%
excess air. Determine
a) The power output of the turbine,
kW
b) The cycle thermal efficiency, %
c) The cogeneration efficiency if
90% of the exhaust heat is used as
process heating, %
d) The combined heat rate,
Btu/kW-hr
