Example 4/E The load duration curve for a typical heavy load being served by a combined hydro-steam system may be approximated by a straight line; maximum and minimum loads being 60,000 kW and 20,000 kW respectively. The hydro power available at the time of minimum regulated flow is just sufficient to take a peak load of 50,000 kWh per day. It is observed that it will be economical to pump water from tail race to the reservoir by utilizing the steam power plant during e off-peak periods and thus running the station at 100% load factor. Determine the maximum capacity of each type of plant. Assume the efficiency of steam conversion to be 60%.

I need help on this assignment: Exhaust gases from the turbine of a simple Brayton cycle are quite hot and may be used for other thermal purposes. One proposed use is generating saturated steam at 110℃ from water at 30℃ in a boiler. This steam will be distributed to several buildings on a university campus for space heating. A Brayton cycle with a pressure ration of 6 is to be used for this purpose. Plot the following:(a) The mechanical power produced,(b) the flow rate of the produced steam,(c) the maximum cycle temperature, all as functions of the rate at which heat is added to the cycle.
The peak load on a power plant is 60 MW, The loads having maximum demands of 20 MW, 30 MW, 10 MW and 12 MW are connected to the power plant. The capacity of the power plant is 80 MW and annual load factor is 0.50. The demend Q.2 factor.
