A Steam Power Plant operates on the Rankine Cycle in which steam at 22 bar and dryness fraction of 0.95 enters the turbine and exhausts to a pressure of 0.1 bar in a condenser. The condensate is pumped as feedwater to the Boiler in which the steam is generated. Sketch the T-s diagram for this cycle and calculate the following performance parameters: (i) Cycle Thermal Efficiency (ii) Specific Steam Consumption (iii) Condenser Heat Load (iv) Cooling Water mass and volumetric flow rates for the condenser if the cooling water enters at 26 oC and leaves at 40 oC for a net power output of 24,000 kW. The specific heat capacity of the cooling water can be taken as 4.0 kJ/kg K and its density as 1023 kg/m3.

Question

A Steam Power Plant operates on the Rankine Cycle in which steam at 22 bar and dryness fraction of 0.95 enters the turbine and exhausts to a pressure of 0.1 bar in a
condenser. The condensate is pumped as feedwater to the Boiler in which the steam is generated. Sketch the T-s diagram for this cycle and calculate the following performance parameters:
(i) Cycle Thermal Efficiency
(ii) Specific Steam Consumption
(iii) Condenser Heat Load
(iv) Cooling Water mass and volumetric flow rates for the condenser if the cooling water enters at 26 oC and leaves at 40 oC for a net power output of 24,000 kW. The specific heat capacity of the cooling water can be taken as 4.0 kJ/kg K and its density as 1023 kg/m3.
