A coal-fired steam power
plant whose net power
output is 100MW operates on
a simple Rankine Cycle.
Steam enters the turbine at
3530.9kJ/kg enthalpy and
leaves the turbine at
2289.5kJ/kg enthalpy. The
condensate leave the
condenser with an enthalpy
of 251.96kJ/kg and the feed
water leave the pump at an
enthalpy of 259.05kJ/kg. Find
the theoretical steam rate of
this power plant in kg/kW-hr.
