Transcribed Image Text:Calculate the power output from the turbine. Assume the process is adiabatic.
Calculate the heat transfer in the economizer and the boiler

Transcribed Image Text:1. Consider the following schematic of a power plant (operating in what is called a
'Rankine Cycle')
Turbine
Steam
generator
Condenser
Coling water
Economiaer
The power plant control room reports that the plant is operating continuously at the following
peak load conditions:
a. Power to pump = 300KW
b. Rate of steam flow = 25 kg/s
c. Cooling water temperature at condenser inlet = 13 C
d. Cooling water temperature at condenser outlet = 34 C
Additionally, the following measurements were made at various points in the piping connecting
the power plant components
Data Pressure Temp. Quality enthalpy Specific Velocity
(kJ/kg)
