While steam power cycles provide much of the electricity that powers the United States, not all the thermal energy used to generate the steam comes from burning fossil fuels. Below is a high-level schematic of a concentrated solar power (CSP) plant that uses a sodium-/potassium-nitrate molten salt to absorb solar thermal energy which is then transferred to steam to run a superheat Rankine cycle. Parabolic mirrors (receivers) concentrate solar energy onto pipes carrying the molten salt. As the molten salt flows through these tubes, it absorbs the reflected solar energy and eventually transfers this energy to steam in a heat exchanger (boiler). For your ensuing analysis, you may assume that the boiler and condenser operate isobarically.

Biomass is used as fuel to power the following cogeneration plant on a school. The turbine drives an electric generator to produce electricity, and part of the steam is extracted to provide heating to campus buildings. The boiler provides 106 kg/h of steam at 6 MPa, 520 °C, of which 4x105 kg/h is extracted between the first and second turbine stages at 1 MPa and diverted to the building heating load. Condensate returns from the building heating load at 0.95 MPa, 115 °C, and it is mixed with liquid exiting the lower pressure pump at 0.95 MPa. The entire flow is then pumped to the boiler pressure. Saturated liquid at 6 kPa leaves the condenser. The turbine stages and the pumps operate with isentropic efficiencies of 89 and 85%, respectively. The efficiency of the electric generator is 93% for converting turbine mechanical power into electricity. Calculate the heating load in kJ/h. Calculate the electric power generated in MWe.

NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. A commercial refrigerator with refrigerant-134a as the working fluid is used to keep the refrigerated space at -30°C by rejecting its waste heat to cooling water that enters the condenser at 18°C at a rate of 0.28 kg/s and leaves at 26°C. The refrigerant enters the condenser at 1.2 MPa and 65°C and leaves at 42°C. The inlet state of the compressor is 60 kPa and -34°C and the compressor is estimated to gain a net heat of 420 W from the surroundings.
