You are required to design a power plant to produce electricity. It is expected to operate at steam pressure of 10 MPa, and steam temperature between 480°C and 490°C. The condenser pressure is expected to be between 8 to 10 kPa. A reheater is also being considered after first stage of turbine where steam pressure is between 0.6 and 0.8 MPa. The steam will be reheated between 470°C and 480°C and then returned to the second stage of the turbine. Select the data from above, draw Layout and T-s diagram and Analyze a. the thermal efficiency of the plant b. the cooling water requirement in kg/s per kg/s of steam, if cooling water enters the condenser at 25°C and exits at 40°C.
