Question
Consider a cogeneration system
operating as shown on the right Steam
enters the first turbine stage at 6 MPa,
540°C. Between the first and second
stages, 45% of the steam is extracted at 500
kPa and diverted to a process heating load
of 5 × 108 kJ/h. Condensate exits the
process heat exchanger at 450 kPa with
specific enthalpy of 589.13 kJ/kg and is
mixed with liquid exiting the lower-
pressure pump at 450 kPa. The entire flow
is then pumped to the steam generator
pressure. At the inlet to the steam generator
the specific enthalpy is 469.91 kJ/kg.
Saturated liquid at 60 kPa leaves the
condenser. The turbine stages and the
pumps operate with isentropic efficiencies
of 82% and 88%, respectively. Determine
a) the mass flow rate of steam entering the first turbine stage, in kg/s.
b) the net power developed by the cycle, in MW.
c) the rate of entropy production in the turbine, in kW/K.
