In a test of cycle steam power plant, the measured rate of the steam supply was 7.1kg/s when the net rate of work output was 5000Kw. The feed water was supplied to the boiler at a temp of 38 0C, and the superheated steam leaving the boiler was at 1.4 Mpa and 3000C. Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle and the heat rate, what would be the heat rate when expressed in BTU of heat input per kWh of work output. Ans

In a test of cycle steam power plant, the measured rate of the steam supply
was 7.1kg/s when the net rate of work output was 5000Kw. The feed water
was supplied to the boiler at a temp of 38 0C, and the superheated steam
leaving the boiler was at 1.4 Mpa and 3000C. Calculate the thermal
efficiency of the cycle and the heat rate, what would be the heat rate when
expressed in BTU of heat input per kWh of work output. Ans
[24.44%,13955 BTU/kwh]
