Question
03: Steam enters the turbine of a cogeneration
plant a 7 MPa and 500°C. One-fourth of the steam
is extracted from the turbine at 600-kPa pressure-
for process heating. The remaining steam
continues to expand to 10 kPa. The extracted
steam is then condensed and mixed with
feedwater at constant pressure and the mixture is
pumped to the boiler pressure of 7 MPa. The mass
flow rate of steam through the boiler is 30 kg/s.
Disregarding any pressure drops and heat losses in
the piping, and assuming the turbine and the pump
to be isentropic, determine the net power
produced and the utilization factor of the plant
