xplain in detail why we need superheated steam in a power generating plant and use T-S diagrams to support your explanation.

A Carnot cycle works on steam between the pressure limits of  8 MPa and8 kPa. Determine thermal efficiency, turbine work and compression work per kg of steam. I want the correct and clear solution. And inside a white paper

A power plant using a Rankine power generation cycle and steam operates at a temperature of 81.25°C in the condenser, a pressure of 5 MPa in the boiler and a maximum boiler temp of 775°C. The cycle operates at steady state with a mass flow rate of 2.5kg/s. Use the steam tables in the appendix of Sandler (p. 917 to 925). a.) Draw out the cycle, calculate the work required for the pump, the work output by the turbine, the heat into the boiler, and the heat out of the condenser. b.) What is the efficiency of this power plant? c.) If the turbine was only 89% efficient but still adiabatic (only generates 89% of the calculated work from part b), what is the overall efficiency of the cycle?

Draw a PV diagram for a Stirling cycle in which 40g of Ar (treated as an ideal gas) is isothermally expanded from 3L to 12L at a tem- perature of 650K. The sample is then undergoes isochoric cooling to 298K. The sample is then isothermally compressed to 3L and finally undergoes isochoric heating back to 650K. Label the states 1-4 on the graph.

May you please be as detailled as possible. Thank you

Rankine Cycle (Thermodynamics) Show the illustration diagram and complete and step by step solution.

Please don't use chatgpt. I am confused with the sign (direction). Please explain correctly if you are not sure just leave it to others.

A geothermal resource/aquifer has been tested and confirmed to continuously produce saturated liquid water at 230°C. It is desired to construct a 60 MW geothermal power plant, which will utilize this resource. Two designs are proposed: a) a single flash unit and b) a dual-flash unit. A nearby cooling pond may supply sufficient cooling water to keep the condenser of the plant at 40°C. For the two types of units under consideration calculate: a) The total amount of steam that needs to be produced. b) The total amount of water the wells must provide. c) If each well produces 60 kg/s of water, what is the number of wells that must be drilled?

derive a symbolic expression for the maximum net conversion efficiency of the cycle,ηcycle, the ratio of the net amount of work produced compared to the external (not from heatregeneration) heat absorbed. You may treat the working fluid as an ideal gas. Your expressionmay include Tc, Th, and any defined constants.

A power station consists  of  a  four-unit  coal fired power  station,  having  a  combined  capacity  of  2,880  MW. The current efficiency of each unit is around 37.7%. You are asked to improve the thermal efficiency of each unit by lowering the condenser pressure. To simplify this task, assume that each  unit  operates on  a  simple  ideal  Rankine  cycle.  If  the  superheated  vapour  enters  the  turbine at 10 MPa and 500 ֯C and is cooled in the condenser at a lower pressure 10 kPa, determine the quality of the steam at the turbine exit and the thermal efficiency of the cycle for one unit.
